Reply To: GREP help

(Aside – you're never too old to learn –:)

A few of the common set commands also have a negatory command built-in:

D is not d — anything except a digit

U is not u

L is not l

W is not w

S is not s

B is not b (not usable on its own)

The big caveat with all of these is that they also ignore the Hard Return! (*) But when you explicitly test with '^' and '$', Peter's GREP can be written, slightly shorter, as

^L+$

(*) Which can be really annoying, because all other wildcards stop at the next Hard Return, unless specifically instructed otherwise.
