You could try using the 'Process lines containing...' menu command,
and pulling out the matching lines, leaving you with the lines that
don't contain the match. It can match using grep if necessary.

I want to use Grep to find every line in a file that doesn't
contain a certain string. For example, if I have:
hello line 1
hello line 2
hello line 3
goodbye line 4
hello line 5
I want to find every line that doesn't contain "goodbye".
