Another way is to use the htdig search tool at
http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu

Although I love "grep," I can't imagine what you can do with it
that you can't also do with the htdig search tool.  For example,
you can do logical expressions with "NOT", mimicking the effect
of "grep -v".

There is a link to thie in the main R page, under "Search," so
you don't need to remember it.
