How to filter out issues having a custom field equal to '-'

[Loris Pozzobon]

Hi, I'm having some trouble trying to create a Jira filter that filters out all issues having a string custom field equal to '-'. I've already tried some escape sequences found on other similar topics:

MyField !~ \- (error)
MyField !~ \\- (doesn't filter out)
MyField !~ [-] (error)
MyField !~ '-' (error)
MyField !~ "-" (error)

Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you Tarun, I've just tried the filter you suggested and it is not filtering out, just like

MyField !~ \\-
