Umm, that's because it is Perl. Negative lookahead assertions are a fairly recent addition to the Perl regex engine and are almost certainly not available in grep. You might try something like /the [^h][^o][^u][^s][^e].* is big/ which unfortunately will fail to match anything less than 5 letters. Walt Attachment:
