Hallo,
I've got a file with a LOT of lines that match the following regular expression: ([0-9]+);([^;]+);([0-9]+);([0-9.]+);\n
But within that file there are a few lines that don't match (in various ways) and I've got to find those lines. Is there a way to tell TextMate: "Find everything that DOESN'T match the given regular expression"?
Kind regards, Tobias Jung

You could use shell command egrep with -v switch.

If this is a one time thing, you could use Filter Through Command… (⌥⌘R) and run the file through `egrep -v [pattern]`. If you're tying to match this on a more permanent basis (in a Language Grammar or something) then I'm not sure off the top of my head, but I'll bet the answer is on its way from someone else.

It was a one time thing indeed, so you were pointing me into the right direction. Thanks a lot! :-)

I don't remember when it got added but in the Text bundle, under Filtering there are exactly these sort of options -- you'll probably want Copy Non-Matching Lines into New Document.
If you don't have these options you'll probably need to update to a newer version of TextMate - I run mine on cutting-edge... Or you could do a checkout or update from the subversion repository to get the latest versions which should have those commands in.

I dont' have the options (yet)... For now Rob McBrooms suggestion helped me, but thank you, too! Next time, I'll check the Text bundle.
