Looking for a Duplicate file Finder with Regular Expression Support

Hi Folks,

I have been searching the net trying to find a good duplicate file finder utility. While I have found plenty that support all types of File Comparison and Regualr Expression support for deciding which files to compare, I have been unable to find one that supports Regular Expressions for marking the files I want deleted.

Does anyone know of a Duplicate File Finder utility or software that includes this type of functionality?

Thanks

I am trying to figure out why you would need regular expression support to find identical files. Do the files have different file names or something? Even if that were the case, couldn't you tell by date and byte size? Not to mention just opening the files with something like Beyond Compare for files that would be in question beyond that.

The only use I know of for regular expression support would be for looking at smaller similarities within a file, or feeding data to a search engine.
 
Try
fdf106.zip, Fast Duplicate Finder. fdf is a command line program which finds duplicate files on your file system. fdf works by comparing the contents of files, instead of their file names. fdf is fast, supports sets, masks and allows you to remove the duplicates as well. GNU license.

No GUI, but, very nice, and you can dump the files to a text file, and handle it that way, tons of options.
