filter to show only file/folder names with commas

[FrizzleFry]

How can I filter with Alt-H to only show folder names with commas (,)?

I tried *,* but that did not work.

Commas are escaped by an extra comma in Nikos' befuddled design noggin, so use: *,,*

sorry about that, bad design decision from 2xExplorer days. Deskrule uses | that don't come naturally in filenames

By way of brief explanation, commas need escaping because a single comma is effectively an "or" separator for filters - so you could enter "foo,bar" and it would find names which have either "foo" or "bar" in them.

Useful, but a nuisance to remember when the water is quickly rising above your neck.

Thanks.

Using the comma as a separator is fairly common but I agree using the pipe symbol ('|') would be better.
