FiF: Can it do the equivalent of "grep -v" ?

[jporkkahtc]

As in, find all lines in the set of files that do *not* match the pattern?

No, there is not, but I can file a feature request.  While I am sure it has very valid use cases, a feature like that has the potential to generate a lot of output. Listing entire files with zero matching lines seems like high noise ratio, but we can evaluate it for future feature enhancement.

This is SlickEdit regular expression syntax -- translate to Perl syntax as an exercise for the user.

Code: [Select]

^\c?@(#<!(CANT_TOUCH_THIS)?@)$


[Dennis]

Also, using selective display:

View > Selective Display... > Search Text... > (x) Hide all matched lines

Or from the command line:

Code: [Select]
