Excluding symbols from scan results based on name

I'm running an fx scan and would like to exclude a currency from any of the results. For example, I would like to exclude the NZD currency from any scan results such as AUD/NZD and NZD/CHF. Is there a way to create a scan that would exclude fx pairs if the pair symbol name contains "NZD"?
 
Solution
@Norm6257 Due to the fact that Thinkscript doesn't provide us with a means of checking symbols against text it would be difficult to use a custom script within a Scan to exclude NZD pairs... However, you could create a custom Watchlist that includes all NZD pairs and then add that Watchlist as an Exclude for your Scans... That would be your best solution...

Thanks! I'll take that suggestion and implement it. Sounds like the only option given the limitation of Thinkscript.
