Ugly hacky script to generate a VS Find in Files uber-Filter

Consolidate-VSFindInFilesSpec.ps1

# TODO dig out of registry instead of cutting and pasting from VS!

$x="*.c;*.cpp;*.cxx;*.cc;*.tli;*.tlh;*.h;*.hh;*.hpp;*.hxx;*.hh;*.inl;*.rc;*.resx;*.idl;*.asm;*.inc;*.tlh;*.h;*.hh;*.hpp;*.hxx;*.hh;*.inl;*.rc;*.resx;*.idl;*.asm;*.inc;*.cs;*.resx;*.resw;*.xsd;*.wsdl;*.xaml;*.xml;*.htm;*.html;*.css;*.vb;*.resx;*.xsd;*.wsdl;*.htm;*.html;*.aspx;*.ascx;*.asmx;*.svc;*.asax;*.config;*.asp;*.asa;*.cshtml;*.vbhtml;*.css;*.xml;*.xml;*.xsl;*.xslt;*.xsd;*.dtd;*.srf;*.htm;*.html;*.xml;*.gif;*.jpg;*.png;*.css;*.disco;*.txt;*.json;*.vb;*.resx;*.xsd;*.wsdl;*.htm;*.html;*.aspx;*.ascx;*.asmx;*.svc;*.asax;*.config;*.asp;*.asa;*.cshtml;*.vbhtml;*.css;*.xml;*.cs;*.resx;*.resw;*.xsd;*.wsdl;*.xaml;*.xml;*.htm;*.html;*.css"

$x+=";*.fs;*.json;*.ts"

# strip *. 
$all = $x.Split( ";") | % { $_.Replace("*.","") }

#xml fins too much junk in obj dirs
$all = $all | ? { $_ -ne "xml" }

$vsFifFilter = [string]::Join(";", ($all | sort | unique | %{ "*."+$_ })) 
$grepwinFilter = [string]::Join("|", ($all | sort | unique | %{ "("+$_+")" }))


# $vsFifFilter | clip

# $grepwinFilter | clip

Would be nice to have lots of JS tooling extensions in too (coffee for a start)

And then it would be nice if they could debug find in files and allow you to omit bin and obj dirs etc.

Result:

*.asa;*.asax;*.ascx;*.asm;*.asmx;*.asp;*.aspx;*.c;*.cc;*.config;*.cpp;*.cs;*.cshtml;*.css;*.cxx;*.disco;*.dtd;*.fs;*.gif;*.h;*.hh;*.hpp;*.htm;*.html;*.hxx;*.idl;*.inc;*.inl;*.jpg;*.json;*.png;*.rc;*.resw;*.resx;*.srf;*.svc;*.tlh;*.tli;*.ts;*.txt;*.vb;*.vbhtml;*.wsdl;*.xaml;*.xsd;*.xsl;*.xslt
