I was needing a string filter for " name NOT LIKE 'a%' " so I have written a patch to add this to views. I would like it to get added to 'oficial module' so I don't have to apply the patch again when doing an update.

Any comment is welcome

It works great for me. I used this with the twitter module to keep tweets from appearing if they started with "@". Perfect!

One recommendation, though, is to not use an abbreviation for the label. Instead of "Doesn't", label them with "Does not start with" and "Does not end with". That matches the other options. Here's a new patch.

Thanks!
Shawn

I suppose, since it's a new patch, that it should probably be reviewed again...
