Well, there are several ways to go about it. One would be to use
Dr. Chip's "logipat" script:
http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=1290
LogiPat does wonders. Thanks.
For the record,
:echo LogiPat('"foo"&!"bar"')
produces:
\%(.*foo.*\&^\%(\%(bar\)[EMAIL PROTECTED])*$\)

In addition to the regex above, you can also do:
/^\%(.*)\s*;\)[EMAIL PROTECTED]
It's a little shorter, and probably a little faster since the LogiPat
regex does a \%(..\)* for every character position of the line. The
speed is evident for a long line.
It follows the general form of a negative line search for embedded
<search>:
/^\%(.*[<limit0>.*]<search>[.*<limit1>]\)[EMAIL PROTECTED]
For example, to match a line that contains "foo" but does not contain
"bar" between "big" and "tummy":
/\%(.*big.*bar.*tummy\)[EMAIL PROTECTED]
HTH :)
