"Select" and "select exclude" objects by name

Submitted by chooj on Sun, 2015-12-06 08:49

Is there a way to select all objects, except some, by name? For example, I want to select and delete all, except objects named "important_object_001", "important_object_002", "important_object_003". How should I do this?
