Given the following structure of the content folder:

```auto
- blog
  ├─ 2019
  ├─ myoldposts
  | ├─ 2008
  | └─ 2009
  └─ shares
     ├─ 2019
     └─ migrated
        ├─ 2014
        └─ 2015

```

How can I list pages only from `shares` plus subdirectories?

I can use

```auto
range (where .Pages ".File.Dir" "in" "blog/shares/migrated/2014/")

```

to filter for the lowest subdirectory.

But when I try to go one level up it doesn’t work anymore:

```auto
range (where .Pages ".File.Dir" "in" "blog/shares/migrated/")

```

Using comparators like `ge` doesn’t work either.

Is there no function that checks for a substring?

Have a look also in this thread:

Merci. As far as I can see that post tackles a similar issue. Difference seems to be that I don’t want posts grouped by subfolder. I want them all listed in the blog but also have a page where I list a subset.

So the question is: How do I get an array of all the posts stored below a specific folder.

Another thing I’ve played around with is `findRE`. Unfortunately I can’t get it to work in `where` either:

Because `findRE` is not a valid operator in `where` I can’t do:

```auto
{{ $posts := where .Pages ".FileDir" "findRE" $path }}

```

And this doesn’t work because “.FileDir” is treated as a string:

```auto
{{ $posts := where .Pages (len (findRE $path ".FileDir")) "gt" 0 }}

```
