Simple issue, remove files that include one particular singlle letter in filename / title.

[Linusdl]

I am having a problem when searching for files that include a letter that I don't need and clutter the results:
Examples: of files that include the R but it is not needed
Advanced Statistics with R and SPSS
Toolkit Python for NLP and R for APSS
Cluster Analysis with R for Behavioral Sciences
etc.
I am interested in titles that include everything but not the ones that include a single letter R (or r) in the file name like the examples above.

In the advanced search, in the field for none, I include "R", or "r" using match whole words, or capital letter or not, quotes or not.
Using R for linear regression.pdf
Biostat Correlation regress interp.pdf
Introduction to Multiple Regression interpretation.pdf
Correlation and regression interpretation R.pdf

How can avoid any filename that includes a letter "R" or similar, without removing any of the others?

try search

Code: Select all

!" r "|" r."

Make sure that Search->Match Case doesn't selected

Hi have no idea what makes it so difficult to search for any 3 or 4 words in any file name and not one letter: I am searching among 7k files and I expect to get 300 valid files
This is an example of them.
1) Using R for linear regression.pdf
2) Biostat Correlation regression interp.pdf
3) Introduction to Multiple Regression interpretation.pdf
4) Correlation and regression interpretation R.pdf
5) Cluster Analysis with R for Behavioral Sciences.pdf
6) Python Toolkit for NLP and SPSS.pdf

I shouldn't get 1, 4, 5
I enter in the advanced search dialog box:
Any of these words: SPSS Logistic Regression
None of these words: !" r " !" r. "
Thanks for helping from ovg.

But this still didn't work.

Thanks!

Don't use Advanced Search. Enter

Code: Select all

!" r." !" r "

into search field

Instead g:\qqq enter your path as needed

What am I missing?

And there isn't space between

Code: Select all

.

and

Code: Select all

"

in

Code: Select all

!" r."

[void]

Please try including the following in your main search box (not the advanced search box):

!ww:r

! = NOT
ww: = match whole words.
