Introducing Twin Files Finder
 Top Next


Twin Files Finder is the file management/search utility.

Primary functionality of the program is to allow user to locate duplicate files located on the local or network drives. You can perform search using comprehensive set of search criteria, including file attributes, file name and file size. File name mask can be defined using Regular Expressions or standards wildcard character (*). Regular Expressions in the File Mask allow greater flexibility than simple functionality offered by the wildcard. For example when using Regular Expressions it is possible to search in one query for files with different extensions.

Key program features:

·    Allows searching for all true duplicate files (regardless of their names).
·    Allows searching for all files with identical names.
·    Allows searching for files matching provided search criteria (similar to Windows Explorer build in search functionality).
·    Uses regular expressions or wild cards to define search criteria.
·    Allows saving search results for future references.
·    Produces printable reports of search results.
·    Allows quick reviewing of found files in text, Web Browser, image or binary viewers.
·    Integrates with third party file comparers.
·    Provides functionality of byte-by-byte file comparison.
·    Allows easy filtering of search results.
