Is it possible to filter the files as a part of the filename. So the searchstring is contained within the filename?

Your query is not clear for me. Could you expand your case with detailed description and examples?

[MickeyMuis]

If you use the filter function you set a filter on (if you want recursively) on a specific filename starting with ... example: abc-21-06-2018.txt bca-22-06-2018.txt cab-23-06-2018.txt If I set the filter on 'a' it will show abc.txt If I set the filter on '21' it will show nothing So what I ask is a filter on a part of the filename. If I set the filter on '06-' it still shows all three files... The question is if that is possible?

[psolom]

I have to review the current implementation, but think this is possible.
For instance this may be implemented using file search by mask, e.g. *06-*.txt

However I can't promise you I implement this feature in the coming days.

[MickeyMuis]

Yes that exactly what I think will be a great extra. No I understand that! Thanks!

Implemented for PHP connector.
Will be included into the next release.

If you would like to test it now you can specify the package as "servocoder/richfilemanager-php": "dev-master" in your composer.json file. This will hook up the latest commits.

To switch the search mode to the wildcard pattern, edit your filemanager.php file as:

$config = [
    'options' => [
        'searchMode' => \RFM\Repository\BaseStorage::SEARCH_MODE_WILDCARD
    ]
];
