Is there a VSCode shortcut or command similar to VIM for grepping lines?

Question

Sometimes I need to look for lines that do not contain a string. For example, on our Jenkins files, there's a lot of "Downloading $package". I can copy the file into VIM and do a :g/Downloading/d and all lines that contain the word "Downloading" will be deleted.

Is there something like that in VSCode?

Answer 1

If you install the vscodevim and enable the Neovim setting(below), you will be able to use :g functionality.

"vim.enableNeovim": true

Answer 2

VS Code supports regexp in find, and it even supports a kind of inverse matching.

In your case you can enable regexp in the "Find..." box (the button with the ".*" symbol) and use ^((?!Downloading).)*$ to match all lines that do not contain the string "Downloading".
