Here is a way I have seen it done by some SQL generators:

 

('field1' like "%/%") = FALSE

** 

I've drawn a blank.. need help creating a query.

 

I have a field (field1) on a view form that I want to search for all records
that do not contain symbol "/" (forward slash). 

Example of data in field:

ABC/123

ABB

ABC/345

DEF/555

DEF

XY

 

I only need the query to return ABB, DEF, XY.

 

I can do 'field1' LIKE "%/%"    ---but how do I do the opposite?

 

I've tried: 'field1' != "%/%" ---this does not work.

 

 

Thanks for the help,
Marcelo
