These selections are combined so that only files that match all of them are found – in
this case only files in the category Photos, and created/last changed within the last
year, and with names starting with ‘inuk’.
•

File Type

– select a category

•

File Date

– select the time period within which the files were created or changed

•

File Name

– type a “mask” to select files:

Type whatever you can remember of the file names you want to find, and
substitute:
• ? for one character, meaning that character can be anything at all
• * for any number of characters, meaning these characters can be anything

at all

• For example, assume that the File Type and File Date selections would include

them:

• To find all files whose names begin with ‘08Dec’, type ‘08Dec*’ – this will find

08Dec_LetterToMary.doc, but not 2008DecemberExpenses.xls

• To find all files with ‘Dec’ anywhere in the name, type ‘*Dec*’ – this will find

08Dec_LetterToMary.doc, 2008DecemberExpenses.xls, etc

• To find all files with ‘n’ as the second character of the name, type ‘?n*’ – this will

find IndiaSlides.ppt, inukshuk5.jpg, but not 5inukshuk.jpg

• To find all files of type ‘doc’ or ‘docx’, type ‘*.doc*’ – of course, this will also find

any files that have type ‘doczzz’ as well
