You should be able to use “Filter Finder Items” and set the criteria to be “None of the following are true”: “Name contains Screen Shot”. I just did a quick test with “Choose a Folder”, “Get Folder Contents” and then “Filter Finder Items” and the Results contain only files that do not contain the word I specified.

Question
I want to make an automator folder action that excludes file names with certain words in them, eg:
move all files to /folder x except those containing the words "Screen Shot"
The actual actions work fine I just need the script or automator actions to exclude the files.
