Hi,

does vi has a fuction like "grep -v"? I always found I need to seach
within the file with those lines which exclue specific strings.
Thanks.

Here are two methods:

:v/pattern/p

/^\%(\%(pattern\)\@!.\)*$

You may find LogiPat of interest; it allows you to construct patterns using Boolean logic (not, and, or): http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/vim/index.html#LOGIPAT
