I can think of a few, though the SearchRec is not hard to use at all, so is very easy to knock up exactly what you need. Anyway, take a look at these: * DoubleCmd (Double Commander) project * See the "Iterator Pattern" article I wrote. You can very quickly adapt the regex iterator by feeding it SearchRec results and then filter out the output. * In the fpGUI "core" code there is a cross-platform file searching class with filtering support. It is used to feed results into fpGUI's File Open/Save dialog. I'm sure there are many more such examples.
