I’m looking for a regular expression that I can use to find occurrences of
‘endl’ in a zillion C++ files but that doesn’t match ‘qendl’.
Can this be done? If so, how?
(It seams like a simple request!)

How about this?
grep -e ‘[^q]endl’ -e ‘^endl’ *.CC

OMG!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Obviously, regular expressions aren’t my thing.
BUT, why is the second expression ( ‘^endl’ ) necessary at all? It seams to
work without it.

Never mind. Got it.
It finds occurances at the beginning of the line.
I don’t have any of those.

Bill, I am not the fan of regular expressions too, so I would do:
grep endl *.CC | grep -v qendl

grep endl *.CC | grep -v qendl
This is dangerous. If qendl is a variable in the program, it’s
possible to have a line of code like this:
cout << qendl << endl;
Your grep expression would discard this case.
