Hierarchy search "NOT" modifier?

Question

I'd like to search for all gameobjects in the scene Hierarchy that do not contain a specific string. Is this possible?

For example something like "NOT door" would filter the Hierarchy to display every item that does not have "door" in their names. AFAIK "NOT" doesn't work as an argument, neither does "-" (the dash character).

Thanks!!

this is not recommended because it is not proficient. there are many ways to organize your object so you dont have to do this. but this is your answer: this find all objects without "door" in the name.

     GameObject[] Everything = UnityEngine.Object.FindObjectsOfType<GameObject>() ;
 
         int n = Everything.Length;
         while (n>0) {n--;
             if(Everything[n].activeInHierarchy){
             if(!Everything[n].name.Contains("NOT")){
                 print ("I found: "+Everything[n].name);
             }
             }
         }
