We have both Solidwork and Inventor files in our EPDM vault. I would like to do a search which would show all files which are in BOTH Solidworks and Inventor formats. Is it possible to do search like that. Can't seem to come up with usable search results using the Variables tab. Any suggestions?
I could search for all Solidworks files and then all Inventor files and then manually parse but there has to be a better way.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Use the name field. Separate the file extensions with a space.
Close. However, probably didn't explain scenario good enough. I am looking for search results in which a part number has both a Solidworks extension and an Inventor extension. Not just looking for all Solidworks and Inventor files.
Example:
base.ipt
base.sldprt
corner.ipt
corner.sldprt
edge.sldprt (should not be in results as does not also have Inventor extension)
flange.ipt (should not be in results as does not also have Solidworks extension)
Any suggestions if possible to use search to return results like this.
Thanks, Tim...
only way I can think of is to do the search as Wayne suggested - then export to excel to find the duplicates.
Try the attached report.
Tim,
How about creating a macro/batch file that does this?
I am not a programmer, so I cannot create one for you.
Just wondering if you shouldn't also post this in the API portion
of the forum.
