Search function with symbols?

[pancakegh]

I made an action which lets you input a string. For every .pdf file in a certain map which contains the string, it will append the path to the file inside a text file. At the end of the loop it will open the text file wich contains the path to all the .pdf's containing the string. For some reason it will not show the following file (which contains a hyphen):

AIH-710060 Folder Pronto.pdf

Does anyone know why it can't see that certain file?

It would be great if you send this file and your task to me for investigation (to oleg(at)robotask.com)
Maybe you made some mistake.

Hello Oleg,

I have sent you an e-mail with my action.

I have changed folders names. Also I created the file with name AIH-710060 Folder Pronto.pdf
It works. It seems the problem somewhere else... Maybe the file has some attributes or secure parameters
Also I tested for string "AIH-710060". It works.

Thanks!

Ugh, I'm so stupid.. Turns out that the pdf was actually in a subfolder, and include subfolders was unchecked
