/\v^(.*exim[/]input)@!
Notice the use of @! instead of @ Hi all,

Hi all,
Browsing a directory listing, sometimes I hit lines like these:
./spool/exim/input/1FM8sl-4n-Ix-H
./spool/exim/input/1FM8sn-4u-OF-D
./spool/exim/input/1E9dsQ-4f-MO-D
[... thousands of similar lines ...]
How can I use "/" to find the next line not matching the above
pattern?
11 matches
