Named layer filters

[Ken Alexander]

I'm trying to set up a named layer filter using wildcards. I want to see all layers that Do Not start with FK or FR. I've tried several variations of ~FK*, ~FR*. Can you only filter one pattern. In googling for the answer I've found that I "should" be able to use more than one pattern by separating them with a comma. Not working though.

Try ~F[KR]*

Allen,

Thanks, but I should have used a different example. I am aware of F[KR]* type of wildcard, my question is can you use more than one pattern. In my original post I just used the FK and FR as an example. How about something like ~FK*, ~Anc*. Thanks.

That's the problem with NOT operators, they just don't OR well together. Say the layer name is Anchor. FK* NOT Anchor = True Anc* NOT Anchor = False, and True OR False = True, so Anchor is included.

Could you filter for the range and then invert it?
