2. Select the combination of File Type, File Date, and File Name that should find the
files you want to restore:
These selections are combined so that only files that match all of them are found – in
this case only files in the category Photos, and created/last changed within the last
year, and with names starting with ‘inuk’.
•
File Type – select a category
•
File Date – select the time period within which the files were created or changed
•
File Name – type a “mask” to select files:
Type whatever you can remember of the file names you want to find, and
substitute:
• ? for one character, meaning that character can be anything at all
• * for any number of characters, meaning these characters can be anything
at all
• For example, assume that the File Type and File Date selections would include
them:
• To find all files whose names begin with ‘08Dec’, type ‘08Dec*’ – this will find
08Dec_LetterToMary.doc, but not 2008DecemberExpenses.xls
• To find all files with ‘Dec’ anywhere in the name, type ‘*Dec*’ – this will find
08Dec_LetterToMary.doc, 2008DecemberExpenses.xls, etc
• To find all files with ‘n’ as the second character of the name, type ‘?n*’ – this will
find IndiaSlides.ppt, inukshuk5.jpg, but not 5inukshuk.jpg
• To find all files of type ‘doc’ or ‘docx’, type ‘*.doc*’ – of course, this will also find
any files that have type ‘doczzz’ as well
