Search selection question

    Hey,

    I've a question on the logic of searching/selecting files in Win Xp...

    Basically I've got my hands on a huge collection of .aif & .sd2 (mac protools) files, I've already converted all of the necessary files to wav (because I use a PC) and I'm left with thousands of files of type "FILE" i.e. no files extension since they came from a mac (they are essentially dupicates & because they've no extension or outstanding propeties I can't select them for moving/deleting/renaming)

    I can search and find all of the .wav files but how to invert the selection and select everthing in this collection that is NOT a wav file?? Alternatively I was thinking I can search and find all the wav files and copy them with their subfolders/folder sturcture intact... can this be done? (Im talking about thousands of folders here so it will take a century if I have to do it manually)

    Something other than brute force would be nice.

    Any suggestions?
    Cheers

    OK I'll see if a simpler question throws up any suggestions...

    how do I search for files that are "not" .wav files on a HDD

    i.e. *.wav = all wav files

    is there a notation/wildcard for [ "everthing but".wav ] files
