Subject: [ruby-talk:24736] Negate grep pattern match?

lizzy:/tmp# cat x
a = %w{aap noot mies}
p a.grep(/a/)
lizzy:/tmp# ruby x
["aap"]

Now how do I retrieve those array elements that do not match /a/? In Perl one
can say @a = grep(!/a/, qw(aap noot mies)); does Ruby have a similar shortcut?

Thanks,
