This might be a FAQ, but here goes:

Does anyone out there know how to locate the next line that does *not*
contain a particular string in vi?  I can do an 'nfind' in vi (locate the
next line that does not start with a particular string), but I can't seem
to figure out how to do an 'nlocate'.

advTHANKSance.
