From: Matt Lawrence Date: 2012-01-13T00:15:24+09:00 Subject: negative grep A bit of syntax that I have never picked up. How do I use grep to exclude entries in a list? biglist.grep(/foo/) # get all entries containing foo biglist.grep(????) # get all entries that do not contain bar -- Matt It's not what I know that counts. It's what I can remember in time to use.
