When I navigate files in Sublime Text Editor I use Ctrl+p to have it look for file names. Is there a similar function that lets me also use parts of the path as search parameter?
Ex: say I have two files with same name in /views and /controllers: how to return only the result in the controller folder when looking for something like filename controllers
You can already do this with ctrl+P, just use / to indicate that the previous part was a directory name:
WITHOUT specific directory
WITH specific directory

I've started using a task runner to export all of my folders into a distribution folder using Gulp. The problem arises when I export images into the distribution folder, the path name is different from the one I'm using in my src file. So, as an example, when I target an image in HTML I type:
/assets/images/example.jpg
However, when the HTML file is distributed, it is supposed to target:
/images/example.jpg
It's still pointing to the assets folder, and creates a dead link. Should I be using a module like gulp-replace to automatically change these path names? Or should I just type in the assumed path name? Or, is there another method that I'm missing?
Sorry if I've phrased this badly, I'm working towards a new developer environment - let me know if I can provide you with any other details.
Should I be using a module like gulp-replace to automatically change
these path names?
Yes, gulp-replace will do the trick.
As an alternative you can place your index.html file into assets folder, so you don't need to change any paths when distributing the project.
How can I reformat Source Code for files without file extension in WebStorm 2016.1.3 ?
Example: I've a automated_generated_json_file_without_extension in one line and the name of the files are always different. I don't want to configure all these file names in "File Types" Dialog and register new patterns.
In Sublime you can change the file type at the right bottom corner, is there a similar function in WebStorm?
Unfortunately you cannot change file type of the file on the fly in WebStorm.
Possible workarounds:
Have a set of files (e.g. test.json, test.js etc) somewhere in a project where you can copy-paste this file content, reformat it there and copy it back.
Use "Scratch files" functionality (Tools | New Scratch File...) and then the same copy-paste content to reformat.
I was looking around and the questions and answers did not seem to match what I am looking for (Sublime Text 3). Anytime I open a new file it defaults to a plain text file. I mostly work with PHP files so I was wondering if there is a setting that would be changed so that when I open a new file it will default to PHP.
I tried to find this directory path "Packages/Text/Plain_text.tmLanguage" here:
C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 3\Packages
C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages
But I did not find the "tmLanguage" files.
Reference: Sublime Text 2 - Default Document Type
The .tmLanguage files are within the .sublime-package files which are secretly simple archives holding all files necessary for a package to work.
Add a .zip extension to the .sublime-package file that contains the PHP settings and you can extract the .tmLanguage file you want as your new default.
Once you have that file, follow the instructions from the question you linked to and you should be good to go.
Set default file type in Sublime Text
Rather than messing with the files in your OS and adding a .zip extension to one of them …
… if you want to find the directory path to a built-in .sublime-syntax or a .tmLanguage file install PacakgeResourceViewer from Package Control.
After installing, use command palette to Package Resource Viewer: Open Resource and find PHP.sublime-syntax.
You can then see the path is Packages/PHP/PHP.sublime-syntax.
then:
Install DefaultFileType and edit its configuration file: Packages/User/default_file_type.sublime-settings as follows:
{ "default_new_file_syntax": "Packages/PHP/PHP.sublime-syntax",
"use_current_file_syntax": false }
Now your new files will default to sublime's built-in PHP syntax highlighting.
How do I search in a folder in sublime text 2 with file extension?
My where when I use:
*.js
searches globally for all js files.
If I try to restrict it to a folder:
/project/*.js
it matches nothing.
Instead of this:
/project/*.js
Try using this:
project .js
This should match files which have project in the path and have a .js extension
EDIT: The above assumes you're trying to find all the files with .js extension using the Goto Anything feature in Sublime Text.
In case you'd like to search within .js files located within a directory, you can add an Include Filter in the search path:
/project,*.js
This will search for the text you've entered, limiting the scope to files within /project and it's sub-directories having the extension .js.
Reference: Sublime Text Docs - Search Scope
EDIT 2: For Sublime Text 3, refer Simons answer below.
godfrzero's answer does not work in Sublime 3 as it actually includes ALL JS files plus ALL files in the project folder.
Instead, you need to specify it similar to how you had it originally...
project/*.js
Note that there's no leading slash, as that will treat it as an absolute path which you won't want in most cases. To include multiple file types within the folder, I think you need to specify it like this:
folder/*.ctp,folder/*.php
This will match any of the following files:
/app/folder/example.ctp
/app/folder/example.php
/app/folder/subfolder/example.ctp
/app/long/path/folder/subfolder/example.php
I know you asked about Sublime 2, but hopefully this helps others (like myself) who are Googling for such advice.

My Sublime ver: 3.2.2
Adding to above answers, I was trying to find in all python files starting with test_ . so this is how I did it.
After pressing Ctrl+Shift+F, in the window.
Where : /home/WorkDir/test, test_*.py
I am creating a Zip file from a folder (and subfolders). it works fine and creates a new .zip file also but I am having an issue while using glob.glob. It is reading all files from the desired folder (source folder) and writing to the new zip file but the problem is that it is, however, adding subdirectories, but not adding files form the subdirectories.
I am giving user an option to select the filename and path as well as filetype also (Zip or Tar). I don;t get any problem while creating .tar.gz file, but when use creates .zip file, this problem comes across.
Here is my code:
for name in (Source_Dir):
for name in glob.glob("/path/to/source/dir/*" ):
myZip.write(name, os.path.basename(name), zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED)
myZip.close()
Also, if I use code below:
for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(Source_Dir):
myZip.write(os.path.join(dirpath, filename) os.path.basename(filename))
myZip.close()
Now the 2nd code taks all files even if it inside the folder/ subfolders, creates a new .zip file and write to it without any directory strucure. It even does not take dir structure for main folder and simply write all files from main dir or subdir to that .zip file.
Can anyone please help me or suggest me. I would prefer glob.glob rather than the 2nd option to use.
Thanks in advance.

Glob by design does not expand into subdirectories. It follows UNIX style path rules and expansions see the documentation for fnmatch for more information. If you want to get at the subdirectories you need to add it to the path. This example will get everything at one level down.
for name in (Source_Dir):
for name in glob.glob("/path/to/source/dir/*/*" ):
myZip.write(name, os.path.basename(name), zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED)
myZip.close()
Doug Hellman has an excellent discussion here. If you are not using the pattern features of glob (like *.txt for all text files or *[0-9].txt for all text files that have a number before the extension) then I think your os.walk solution is better
