Multiple file mask help

Hello all
I am trying to include files less than a day old and exclude files that contain Merge using the following WinSCP PowerShell script. Is there something I can rewrite to have both masks work every time please? Let me know if you need any further info.
Thanks

# Connect
$session.Open($sessionOptions)
$emailBody += "`n[$(get-date -f G)] Session opened"
# Transfer files
$transferOptions = New-Object WinSCP.TransferOptions
$transferOptions.FileMask = "|*_Merges_*;<1D";
In the log files in test using a handpicked selection of files this seems to work, as follows

Please attach a full session log file showing the problem (using the latest version of WinSCP).

To generate the session log file, use /log=C:\path\to\winscp.log command-line argument. Submit the log with your post as an attachment. Note that passwords and passphrases not stored in the log. You may want to remove other data you consider sensitive though, such as host names, IP addresses, account names or file names (unless they are relevant to the problem). If you do not want to post the log publicly, you can mark the attachment as private.
