      I have several network configuration files in a folder. I want to find a config file that are not configured username and password. Is there a way to use regex to find all config files that do not contain the line username and password? thanks

        Yes.

        Unfortunately, since you told us nothing about the format of the file (you could give us a dummied up version with fake data, but that keeps the same format – spaces, colons, etc --, select the text data, and hit the </> button to mark it as “literal” text for the forum)

        – if you give us example data, someone might be able to hazard a guess as to the regex that will work. If you give us examples of files that should match (ie, do not contain user/pw) and files that shouldn’t match (ie, do contain user/pw), that will be better.

        With that regex, you would then use Search > Find in Files, it will list the files that match (or, in this case, the ones that match not having the user/pw – typing so negatively is difficult; I feel sorry for the non-native-English-speakers reading this reply right now…)
