In Visual Studio Code search specification I would like to combine directories and file kind specifications.

For example, I would like to search for particular string in all foo*.txt files under directory bar/var/extern. Another example: I would like to exclude from search directories out, tmp and files *.o.

Is it possible?

CodePudding user response：

Example1:

• Files to include: bar/var/extern/**/foo*.txt

This will include every single foo*.txt under bar/var/extern/ and it's subdirectories.

Example2:

• Files to exclude: out, tmp, *.o
