Filter STrings to have exclude option

The Filter Strings option for the Remote Systems view allows filters for things like objects. Those filters allow include criteria, but not exclude criteria. It would be really helpful if we could also have excludes.


Use Case:

I'm using RPGUnit in RDi to do unit testing. I have an object filter for my tests. Using include filters I've selected all the desired objects, but unfortunately there are other objects that match the criteria. Presently there's no way to exclude them. If exclude criteria were an option, I could just exclude them.

    We have reviewed this requirement and we feel it would be a beneficial enhancement to the product. We hope to be able to add it to our development plans in the future.

    The COMMON Europe Advisory Council (CEAC) has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a “nice to have” LOW priority feature.

    Background: The CEAC members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CEAC has a crucial role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

    To find out how CEAC help to shape the future of IBM i, see CEAC @ ibm.biz/BdYSYj and the article "The Five Hottest IBM i RFEs Of The Quarter" at ibm.biz/BdYSZT

    I feel like every other time I set up a filter I wish I could do this.

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.

    Another vote for regular expressions!

    How about the ability to use regular expressions in filter strings too?
