Query: Does Not Match?

Postby chester » Mon Nov 21, 2016 7:37 am

I'd like to query all the series in my EViews database that do NOT have a description containing the string "random".
I basically want to do an inverse of whatever comes out of the "matches" clause. How can that syntax be written?

Try

Code: Select all

=@Wquery("mydb"," name matches * and not description matches random")
