Trying to search a specific unicode range

Post by egoblah »

Hi there! I'm trying to search a large amount files for any names containing characters from beyond the "Latin-1 Supplement" set. So basic Latin accents (é, ü) are fine, but some of my apps have problems processing filenames with, say, Cyrillic characters, or more complicated Polish diacritics, etc.

This is one of the searches I've been trying but it's not returning the results I'm expecting when I plug in the values:

regex:[\u0100-\uE007F]

I've also been fiddling with the "char-range" function but I'm not a programmer so it's just been trial and error. Would appreciate any help you can offer!

Everything uses PCRE.
PCRE uses
\x{unicode-character-value}


Please try:
case:regex:[\x{100}-\x{E007F}]


Enable case sensitivity to not match some odd characters like \x{17f} and s

pcrepattern



Alternatively:
char-range:0x100-0xE007F


char-range:
