grep for files that don't have a pattern?

[Barbara Snyder]

Is there a way to use grep to find all files that do not contain a particular string? In this case, it's the meta:: directive in my RST files - I want to find files that I haven't yet added it to.

Thanks -- Barbara

In the Multi-File Search dialog box there is an "Exclude Matches" option when you click on the "Options..." button in the bottom half of the dialog box.
