Hello: Try "man grep" at any Unix command line. You might find something like...
-L, --files-without-match Suppress normal output; instead print the name of each input file from which no output would normally have been printed. The scanning will stop on the first match. If you need to find all such files, you can easily write a loop in a shell script. Mark > How can I make the following expression > display only occurrences that do NOT contain the > searchstring.
