Excluding Files in a Listing

What is the best way to exclude multiple files when listing files in a folder. Maybe a bad day for me, but I can’t seem to get it right.

(names of files of folder “c:\ntutils” whose ((name of it as lowercase != “kx32.dll”) or (name of it as lowercase != “kx95.dll”)))

There are a few ways to do it. The main thing is you need an

and

instead of an

or

.

(names of files of folder “c:\ntutils”) whose ((it as lowercase is not “kx32.dll”) and (it as lowercase is not “kx95.dll”) and (it as lowercase is not “foo.dll”))

If there are lot of individual exclusions I find the set inspectors make it much easier to edit the list:

elements of (set of names of files of folder “c:\ntutils” - set of (“kx32.dll”; “kx95.dll”))

Thanks guys… I was using and before, changed to or when I was playing with the code… Looks like the big difference was where I put the () vs. (names of files of folder “c:\ntutils”), because I couldn’t get this to work (names of files of folder “c:\ntutils” whose ((name of it as lowercase != “kx32.dll”) and(name of it as lowercase != “kx95.dll”)))…

I like the elements. Gonna try to use that so I use that structure more often!
