Description
These operators return the opposite result
of the is contained by
and is in
operators. They return true
if the
left operand—a list
,
record
, or string
—
cannot
be found in the list
,
record
, or string
operand on
the right. If the left operand is not of the same class as the second
operand, then AppleScript attempts to coerce the first operand to the
second operand’s class before evaluating the
expression. The use of is not in
and its variants
is a good way to delineate the strings that do not contain certain
substrings.
Examples
tell application "Finder" (* get a list of desktop files whose names do not contain '.jpeg' *) get files where ".jpg" is not in name of files end
