# Grep For Files Without A Match
|
||||
|
||||
The `grep` command is generally used to find files whose contents match a
|
||||
pattern. With the `-L` (`--files-without-match`) flag, `grep` can be used to
|
||||
find files that don't match the given pattern.
|
||||
|
||||
For instance, to find files in the current directory that don't have
|
||||
`foobar` anywhere in their content, run:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ grep -L "foobar" ./*
|
||||
```
