Finding all files that have cat and not dog works just fine with the following:

:cat AND NOT dog

I now want to exclude not only dog but also bird and bees.
What is the correct expression? My old birdbrain has failed in
reading the highly 'technical' stuff available that I'm sure has the answer.

Thanks in advance,
pat

:cat AND NOT (bird OR dog OR bee)

Thanks - works like a charm.
I tried to exclude four items - it worked - is there a limit on number of exclusions
or on using caps or not? (I used all capital letters.)

p

Lower / uppercase for and, or, not doesn't matter

Limit? I don't know, ask Don

No limit.

I think that was a challenge....

OK, the edit box containing the name pattern is limited to 2 GB (1 billion characters), and XY supports "only" 256 nesting levels (logical parentheses).

Now you show me a name patterns that is too large for this AND that you understand.
