hypertext search for all lines NOT containing the text xyz
Submitted by garyn_87048 on Friday, 28 October, 2011 - 23:08
I'm auditing a large group of text files and I need to identify lines that do NOT contain a particular text string (for example, find all rows not containing the text "xyz"). XYZ may or may not occur on a word boundary. I have not been able to figure out the regexp to accomplish this.

Alternatively, if the hyper-search returned every line with a count of the number of occurences per-line prepended to each row, that would solve it too.

Thanks!

Line Filter

Hi,
I guess it must be possible, but for me it's a problem too.

Maybe the Line_Filter macro (\macros\Text\Line_Filter) could help You. It can extract all lines that don't match the given RegExp to a new buffer.
