In regard to: [Networker] mminfo query question, Len Philpot said (at...:

I know I can do things like
       # mminfo -ar 'ssid,volume,client,name' -q 'volume=001234'

But is there a way to specify all <whatever> except a certain one or a
list of ones? eg. --
       # mminfo -ar 'ssid,volume,client,name' -q
'volume!=001234,volume!=001235,ssid!=1234567890'

When I've needed to do stuff like this in the past, I've found it easiest
to just postprocess the output with "grep -v".  The trick is that you have
to be careful that grep only matches the fields you're interested in.
In other words, if "001234" occurs as part of a substring of the ssid,
you don't want that getting thrown out.  It can help to arrange your
query so that the fields you need to examine are at the beginning or end
of each output line.

It can also be helpful to specify the field separator in the output from
mminfo, as that can sometimes make it easier to construct the regex for
grep.

With that in mind, something like

        mminfo -xc@ -ar 'ssid,client,name,volume' |
        egrep -v '(^1234567890@|@00123[45]$)'

should accomplish roughly what you're after.
