I know that to find lines beginning with the letter A, for instance, I would simply put %A in the search box (and check regular expressions). But how would I find all lines NOT beginning with the letter A? I've tried %[^A] but that doesn't work. My goal is to find all lines in a very large pipe-delimited text file NOT beginning with a handful of certain characters and numbers.

Thanks very much.

This works in Unix regex mode

^[^a]

And for UltraEdit style it is %[~A].
