Pattern selection. How to format text for searching?

I have objects:
Cube_low
Cube_low.001
Cube_low.002

How i should write the pattern to be able to select all Cubes which have “_low”?
But the same time doesnt select anything with the names which can contain “low” somewhere, as example something like: ‘lower’, or "loww’, etc.

Have you tried *_low in the filter on the outliner?

Hope that helps

Try Cub*_low… a better regualr expression might be Cub[.]*_low($|[\.][.]+) but this doesn’t work in blender. If you want to differ between low and lower you might to think about using _low_ and _lower_ in the first place (or in the future)…

If i remember correctly there was also a renaming tool ??? Then you could rename:

  • lower to _lower_
  • _low. to _low_

Or rename the first to Cube_low. (maybe also adding 000 ??) use Cub*_low. ( ← with dot )

I use this renaming tool from a professional Blender user working for Remedy Entertainment,Helsinki. It’s nice. They also made the Max Payne, Alan Wake games etc. Check it out.

It also contains a wildcard selection tool.
