Thank you enoon and "Not that I can see" means "no", right? And then what is "that" referring to? There are many similar expressions such as

Not that I know of

Not that I care
.
.
.

I have learned that those expressions are just idioms, but I would like to know when you use it and what it is referring to.

Thank you so much

Hans51"Not that I can see" means "no", right?
Right.
Hans51And then what is "that" referring to?
difference - There is not a difference that I can see. The form is the same as "Not that I know of", but it is not the same as "Not that I care". These are not idiomatic expressions, but they do have a formulaic structure.
