For the commands that accept a regular expression option:
- .: use a period to substitute for a single character. For example, entering
f.llcan select
fell.txt and fill.txt. - *: use an asterisk after a character to look for any number of that character in the
specified place in the string. For example, enteringtex*tcan select tet, text, texxt, texxxxxxxxt, etc. - ?: use a question mark after a character to look for 0 or 1 uses of that character in the
specified place in the string. For example, enteringtex?tcan select tet or text, but nottexxt. - ^: use a caret mark to look for all file names beginning with the character(s) after it.
For example, entering^twould select all files with names beginning with a t. - $: use a dollar sign to look for all file names ending with the character(s) before it. For
example, enteringb$would select all files with names ending with a b. - \: use a backslash character to ‘escape’ the following character, telling FileZilla Pro Command Line to treat it as a normal character and not as an expression. For example, if you want to select text files, you could enter
\.txt.
