How do find a file without an extension?

Extension *.ext
Without Extension ?

Perhaps this article will help https://superuser.com/questions/155958/way-to-search-find-files-or-folders-with-no-extension-in-windows

I installed, started "Start Search" and nothing works! (Nothing happens)

[Boggin]

Did you read through the article and the tips given ?

I haven't used that program and there may be others out there which you could find through a Google, but what are the files you are trying to find - do you need to show hidden files for the program to find them ?

[Angelika]

I'm not interested in files with hidden extension and system files, but random text files that have been saved without any extension in the Editor.
I tested this worthless program and it is not working.
I am looking for a regular expression (no extension) that will solve all my problems.

[Boggin]

Reading through that article, it told you which wildcard to use so that it just picked up those without extensions - which was my understanding.

Perhaps you can find an alternative program to use.

I can't help you with this.

Do not believe all the stupid things they write.

I do not believe any Microsoft developer would have thought of such a thing unless he was a complete idiot without a brain.

Finds only files without extension.

I used this pattern for simple search:

Code: [Select]

^\s*[^\.\W]+$

[Boggin]

Then why ask if you already use a search parameter ?

Are you Makinero by another name as he/she used to post similar.

I wanted to solve the problem quickly, and every page or suggestion could contain a lot of valuable, useful information.
I found a lot of different regex on another forum, but only one of them works well, of course with another tool than the Microsoft search engine.
I do not remember if I had another account, probably deleted a few years ago.

I banned Makinero because of attitude and abuse to other members when they were just trying to help.
