1@mdpc I'm not sure which part; he wants to do a text search with recoll, but only return files with the extensions he specifiesMichael Mrozek– Michael Mrozek2013-01-02 20:36:47 +00:00Commented Jan 2, 2013 at 20:36

maybe I don't remember seeing a 'recoll' command in UNIX/Linux (thought it might be a mispelling)....mdpc– mdpc2013-01-02 20:44:55 +00:00Commented Jan 2, 2013 at 20:44

The solution is to use the Recoll query language. In the graphical version of Recoll, select "Query language" from the drop-down, and then use the ext: field specification. For example:
ext:cpp
will show *.cpp files, while
ext:txt
will show *.txt files.
You can also do this from the command-line like this:
recoll -t -l 'ext:cpp' | less
extspecifies the file name extension (Ex:ext:html)

@barrycarter Sorry, can't check it. I haven't used recoll for an year at least.ASten– ASten2015-04-24 07:40:25 +00:00Commented Apr 24, 2015 at 7:40
