Wwise Query Editor - "Not" Modified

0 votes
Is there a way to find all elements that don't match something in their name?

For example: I have a bunch of containers that start with the word "step". I want to find all containers that don't have word "step" in them.

Unfortunately, the Query Editor does not have a "not" operator: I'm taking note of that request though and adding it to our backlog.

As a possible solution, the recently released Wwise 2021.1 offers WAQL (Wwise Authoring Query Language) that you can use in the search field of the Authoring. For your case, a WAQL query that translates your query would be:

$ where ! name = /^step/

For more information about WAQL, see https://www.audiokinetic.com/library/edge/?source=SDK&id=waql_reference.html.

I just saw the WAQL article on the Wwise Launcher and that looks like the solution I need. Will update as soon as I can.
