Search for folders that doesn't have a particular file/folder?

[thorodin]

Hi!

I'd like to use regular expressions and search for folders without a particular file/folder.
So let's say I want to look up all of my folders that doesn't have the file or folder called "Text", it'd return a list of folders without "Text".

I am not good at using regular expressions, so if anyone can help me, I'd be very grateful. Thank you

Code: Select all

!Text

will list all the files/folders except "Text"

Sorry for making you misunderstand me

I don't want to exclude files and folders with "text" in the filename.
I want to exclude folders that have files and folders with "text" in the filename.

Sorry, my mistake.

This (might) work

Code: Select all

!child:Text

Awesome, it worked. Thank you so much.
Is it possible to make it exclude files with the phrase "text" or "orange"?
