kevinmp Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Sometimes I want to find a file called exactly "Foo" but Alfred helpfully provides a list of files called Foobar1, Foobar2, Foobar3 etc that match the characters I typed. Of corse, Foo would be in the list somewhere but maybe not in the items displayed or not conveniently near the top. While the existing behavior is right most of the time, sometimes it would be great to tell Alfred to match these characters exactly. In regular expressions one can use the metacharacter "$" for this purpose but obviously this wouldn't work in this case. The character ":" is illegal in a filename and could perhaps be used. By typing "Foo:" I could indicate to Alfred exactly the file I wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
