Force the Finder to search for leading spaces in names
Now if only the finder could use regular expressions
Preach it, brother!
Preach it, brother!
Oh, what I could do with regular expressions in the "Finder finder." Anyone know of a plugin or hack that accomplishes this? I've looked at "A Better Finder Select" and such, but it's simply NOT the same as having regexps in the Finder.
zsh
Speaking personally, I don't miss regexps in the Finder, because the shell does all I want in that area. Yes, I know that not everyone likes using the command line, and even if you do there are things it's not suited for. But it's worth being aware of.
In particular, if your shell is zsh (supplied with Mac OS, and easily made the default), then the filename expansion is recursive. So you can type (say) **/*.txt to find all text files in the current folder or anywhere underneath it. You can add alternatives, exclusions, selection by type/length/dates/whatever, and tons more -- it's a really powerful feature, and I'm surprised more people don't use it. ---
speaking of preaching...
Well, I do. I am a slobbering zsh fan.
Here is my zsh on OS X page.

Help yourself to any functions you like, including the open -a completions, and the terminal-finder interactions.
