[in menu Analyse]

This operation searches text in MIDI or MP3 files in a chosen folder and all music files in the sub folders.

First search might take long time, information will be collected for future searches. Additional searches in this folder will be quicklier. The search optimization only works with not write protected folders. GNMIDI generates a file gnmidtxt.fnd in each not write protected folder.

The matching filenames are written into a text file that will be shown with notepad editor.

MP3 information:
the word is searched in filename (often contains artist and song title) and MP3 ID3 tag fields.  
 
Wildcards wildcard characters can be used for matching some unknown parts
* match empty or any character sequence  
? match any single character  
# match any single digit  
 
e.g. w*it?e* matches text white  
 
Words only (if not using wildcards)
the given text only matches at beginning of a word and ending of a word (it does not match in middle of a word)  
when the pattern contains *, ?, # then the option is ignored  
Without this option a pattern text matches also part of words e.g. ike matches also a text like  

Ignore casesensitive
the pattern text can be written with lower or upper case and still can match e.g. WHITE matches white
