Pattern Matching in the File Pane

You can also use pattern matching to find files by moving the pointer into the File Pane and typing the pattern that you want to match.

The pattern you type is displayed in the footer. As the pattern is typed, all the files starting with the current pattern are selected. For example, when you type c, the pattern is c*, and all the files starting with c are selected. If you then type h, the pattern becomes ch*, and only the files starting with ch are selected. If you then type a, the pattern becomes cha*, and the files starting with cha are selected, and so on. To finish the pattern, press Return. If there are no files that match the pattern, an error message appears in the footer.
