One of those things that must be easy, but I haven’t been able to figure out 
how:

Given a set of files (specified in a Multi-File search dialog box), I want to 
find all the files that do NOT contain a string matching a grep pattern 
(specifically, a line beginning with the string “DecisionDate:").

The best idea I’ve got is to do a multi-file search for a grep pattern 
(?s)\A<something>\Z, where <something> describes a string that does not contain 
the pattern ^DecisionDate:. Only, I can’t think of any pattern that does that.

This is a one-shot problem, so I’d be perfectly happy with a command line 
solution (maybe using the find utility?).

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Neil Faiman
