Notepad++ find in files filter EXCLUDE

Question

I\'m looking for a way to get n++\'s find in files dialog to exclude certain files...

the only reference I\'ve found so far is this http://sourceforge.net/project/showno

Answer 1

Note, as of December 5th, 2019, Notepad++ 7.8.2 now supports exclude filters.

For example to exclude exe, zip and jar files, your 'find in files' filter will look like this;

*.* !*.exe !*.zip !*.jar

Relevant code change here.
