Very simple regex question

Hi

I will only be using regex once to hide certain files on a linux server and I can't seem to find the simple answer I am looking for.

I am trying to hide files that contain this string ":2e" without the quotation marks.

So what I have tried is this

"(*:2e*|Temporary Items|Network Trash Folder)$"

the :2e string is the only one that doesn't work

Please help

I don't know what utility/regex engine your using to search the files but you shouldn't need the asteriks(*) or the $:

Code:

:2e|Temporary Items|Network Trash Folder

I knew it was simple! That worked

And I thought I needed a wildcard so I never even tried it without

Thank you
