Select Files in the Front Finder Window Based on Name Criteria

Yes. But why do you want to do that? Normally you select files to do something -- you may find it easier to go straight to "do a thing to all the files whose name contains 'Jane'".

Is it always the same thing to do? The same criteria?

By current location, do you mean the frontmost Finder window? The folder containing an already-selected file? A location previously referenced in the macro? Should this include matching files in sub-folders?

So many questions! It's usually worth taking a moment to explain your workflow so people can see where the thing you're asking about sits -- more suggestions on how to help us help you are in Tip: How Do I Get The Best Answer in the Shortest Time?
