Hi Michelle
GnuCash has implemented the "POSIX" dialect of regular expressions, and
I don't think it supports the complex example with negation you gave in
your earlier post:-
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/watson-explorer/11.0.1?topic=queries-posix-regular-expression-syntax-examples
However, you may be able to achieve your desired result if you try using
the Search functionality instead - this post and screenshot may be helpful:-
https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2022-July/101780.html
If you manage to filter the required transactions using Search (or a
series of Searches, remember that you can:-
* Refine the results of a previous Search
* Add results to the current Search
* Delete results from the current Search
)
then you can produce a Transaction Report by choosing:-
Reports / Account Report.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Geoff

I gave a bad example. In trying to make the example simple, I opened up
a solution.
Consider text to be in the description which would be a negative for
wanting to summarise some transactions in a series of what would
otherwise be placed in a -Cat:Computer:Hardware line.

Also, do you not split your receipts by line item?
That would make this a cinch.

I think part of my problem may be that in the transaction filter,
the
account name may not be included as part of the comparison, but
even
then if I try various forms of "not clothing" in the account
filter,
that's not working either.
