Hi,
In this case, I would recommend that you take just a few minutes to
at least read the BBEdit chapter on GREP searches. You certainly
won't understand grep from doing that but it will allow you to at
least be able to frame your questions more precisely and also get
more out of any answers. All log files aren't the same and thus it
is pretty much impossible to give an answer based on your
information. Reading that chapter will take maybe half an hour or so.

Hey all
I have a rather large (~20MB) log file, and I want to delete all the
lines that *don't* contain a string (in this case, a username).
I'm sure there is some kind of greppy goodness that can be applied to
accomplish this, but I don't know the first thing about grep. :-/
Any suggestions? Thank you!
Thomas.
