Hi
it would be very usefull to have the possibility to find the contrary of the (maybe
regular) expression that we are looking for, like "egrep -v" does

I'm not clear what the feature being requested here would do exactly. In a utility
like "egrep", you are searching line by line, showing only those lines that match
a condition, so the option to show lines which *do not* match the condition makes
sense. But if you do a standard search in an editor, you are searching for any matching string within the file, and highlighting / jumping to that string. In that case, what would an inverted search highlight or jump to? (Given the text "hello kitty, good kitty", what would a search for [not matching "kitty"] do? highlight "hello " and ", good "?) Do you specifically want a feature to find *lines* not containing a specified search term? Or perhaps *files* not containing it? Do you have a particular use case in mind? |

Hi here is my buffer : allez les Girondins de Bordeaux ! la meilleure equipe du monde ! et de l'univers ! when I make an hypersearch with "on", it finds : allez les Girondins de Bordeaux ! la meilleure equipe du monde ! I want to make an inverted hypersearch with "on" which would give : et de l'univers ! I hope it's more clear now... |

In fact not it doesn't find allez les Girondins de Bordeaux ! la meilleure equipe du monde ! it finds that those two lines contains "on" The search is not line by line and a searched string can contains several lines. In fact what you want is a revert grep isn't it ? |

my english (and informatic skills :O) are not excellent, so what I'de like to find
in Jedit is the same result as "grep -v" does on a file put my buffer in the file thefile.txt 1/ on unix do : grep on thefile.txt Jedit do that as well (2 lines out) 2/ on unix do : grep -v on thefile.txt Jedit does not support such option, on unix I get one line do you understand my poor english now ?

I understand. I don't know if it is exactly what you need but there is a macro in
the "text" submenu : LineFilter that does something similar to grep |

great ! that seems to do the job ! many thanks ! (maybe it would be a good thing to integrate this macro in the find screen...) |

for that you can use the new plugin MenuEditor that was released yesterday, it allows
you to customize all the menus in jEdit. So if it is solved can I close this tracker ? |

I've checked for that plugin but I haven't found it (the most recent one was RFCReader)...
nevertheless, I don't think that this plugin would allow to add a checkbox in the
search window... (I'm really sorry to consume your time, but I'm really keen on Jedit !) |
