VIm Question ...

[Ben Duncan]

I need to know the command to delete lines that DO NOT contain a string.

For example, I have lines that contain the strings in them "works_1", "works_2",
"works_3" and so on.

I want to hight light the rows and then delete the rows that DO NOT have
the string "works_4" in them.

The VIM manual states to use ":v/^dd/d" to do this, but it JUST does
not work. Or maybe I am too old to understand what the ^$%#% it is saying.

Anyway, Thanks.
