exclude files with Live Filter

I would like to be able to exclude files using the Live Filter function. Is this already possible?
example:
001.pdf
001_test.pdf
002.pdf
002_test.pdf
003.pdf
003_test.pdf
004.pdf
004_test.pdf
Here I would like to hide all files with test in the file name. So that only the remaining files are displayed one below the other.
This would enable faster file selection.

Sure it is, read the help about visual filter syntax for the NOT operator...

Before you reply it doesn't work, make sure this is enabled
Configuration | Find and Filter | Filters & Type Ahead Find | Live Filter Box | Enable extended pattern matching

I found the following command:
!*test*
This also works well. It's just a bit time-consuming and fiddly to enter the command and put the word between the stars.
Is it possible to filter and exclude multiple words? I haven't managed that yet. So the above command two or three times with different words?
And is it possible to call up the last applied filters via the filter symbol.
At the moment this only works for me with the last filter as long as I don't close Xyplorer.

The examples include such a case^^
And if it's too much work to type everything in, write a script that creates the necessary pattern for such cases...

a script would be ideal. So you only have to enter the words that you want to filter. Unfortunately I can't write scripts. Can someone help me?

Code: Select all
$words = input("Enter ','-separated words", , "hello,world", "e");
$pattern = "!(";
foreach($word, $words, ",", "e") { $pattern .= "*" . trim($word) . "*" . ";"; }
copytext trim($pattern, ";") . ")";

Thank you. Is there also a possibility for the script to enter and confirm directly in the filter field. At the moment the filter is not applied but is just copied to the clipboard.

Replace the last line with
filter trim($pattern, ";") . ")", 1+4+8;
?
