I'm pretty sure I used to know how to do this: something like !/foo/ 2) I don't want to have to re-engineer (reverse) the reg exp. Obviously, foo isn't the actual case. |

You are possibly remembering how to list lines not containing foo: :v/foo/p Which can be entered simply as: :v/foo Canoe's advice looks best to me, and should be used to update some tips on the wiki: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Match_every_word_except_foo John |
