PowerShell grep quivalent

Question

I am trying to port this command line from bash to PowerShell:

git verify-pack -v .git/objects/pack/pack-*.idx | grep -v chain | sort -k3nr | head

So far I have this:

git verify-pack -v (Get-ChildItem ".git/objects/pack/pack-*.idx") | select-string -pattern "chain"

But how do I do an invert match in PowerShell (option -v to grep)?

Answer 1

You mean -NotMatch?

Select-String -NotMatch -Pattern "chain"

Select-String @ Technet
