Highlight patterns - choose the file names that you want to search for. If you want to search for a complete file name (ie. 'arteffect.lha'), simply enter this 'as is'. If you want to search for key words that could be surrounded by other characters (ie. if you wanted to find all 'stfax' files) then enter these words surrounded by pattern matching characters: #?
Say for instance you entered '#?stfax#?', the ADT find module will highlight any files within the RECENT list that have the words 'stfax' within them. It will even show files such as 'new_stfax1.lzx'.
