Problems with Filesearch

[Kloeiev]

Please, need help on doing a content search with FileSearch !

I'm trying to find all documents on a network-drive with the exact string 'R-1771' in its content, but for some reason it uses '-' as a wildcard and not as normal character.

I'm running out of ideas to narrow-down the results for the specified string.

Please help me with some code to solve this problem!!

Hi, thanks very much for your response.

Unfortunately the problem still stands.

Your link showed me how to get all filenames from one directory in a delimited string.

But I'm trying to search inside the documents (in the body/contents) and need to search for text containing a '-' character. Somehow I can't search for 'R-1771' with Application.Filesearch.TextorProperty, while it uses the '-' as a wildcard and not as a character.

Hopefully you'll be able to solve my problem.
Thanks!!
