I have set up the following powersearch to get live nascar races:

program.title = ('Nascar Racing')
AND program.subtitle REGEXP '(Nextel Cup)'
AND program.first > 0
AND program.previouslyshown = 0
AND program.category = ('Sports Event')

The only problem with this expression is that we pick up Practice, Final Practice and Qualifying in addition to the race. How do I modify the expression to exclude events that contain the word 'Practice' or 'Qualifying'

How about adding this to the end of your search criteria:



I'm unsure if 'NOT' is the correct syntax (maybe '!=' instead?) but I'm sure someone more versed can chime in an correct that if it's wrong. That should give you a push in the right direction.

Thanks, that helped me narrow my guessing. I'm not sure if this is the correct way but... here's what I came up with that seems to work:

program.title = ('Nascar Racing')
AND program.subtitle REGEXP '(Nextel Cup)'
AND program.first > 0
AND program.previouslyshown = 0
AND program.category = ('Sports event')
AND program.subtitle NOT LIKE '%Practice'
AND program.subtitle NOT LIKE '%Qualifying'
