Have you ever wished you could easily select a bunch of items in the Finder by regular expression? You're looking at a huge directory full of files and you want to select all the items whose name end in ".jpg" and contain "Fun"?

This can be done with vanilla Applescript.

tell application "Finder"
files of entire contents of startup disk whose name contains "Fun" and name extension is "jpg"
end tell
