File Type Exclusion in Eclipse / Aptana found in File Search

Question

Is there a way to exclude words, image types in Aptana or Eclipse file searches? I want to search for all files that are not images, and not specify all file types that I want to search.

Answer 1

Try to put '!' mark in front of the pattern that you do not want to match - by placing

!*.cgi, !*.pm, !*.sql 

in the section “Sample file names” performs the task in the test that I run with Eclipse 3.4.1 (when the template was just *, there was a file of each type with this template, it returns only js and pl).

I was afraid that it would be a bit naive with the templates and just allow everything that matches one of them to succeed (i.e. the sql file will match! *. Cgi), but that doesn't seem to be the case.
