Re: search for absent strings

Thank you very much Tim

I actually tried that command in vim, but got the message:
E15: Invalid expression: let lst=[] | for i in range(1,10)| if
(!search('xx'.i.'\>')) | call add(lst, i) | endif | endfor

Also, for my case should I not be doing: range(1,1183) ??

Thank you once again,

--------------------------------------------------------
Assuming that the "xx" portion is constant across each line
(instead of a regexp you're eliding), I'd do it by searching for
each pattern and building a list of those that don't match:

:let lst=[] | for i in range(1,10)| if (!search('xx'.i.'\>'))
| call add(lst, i) | endif | endfor
