In vi, can my cursor jump to a line that contains a string but not another string with one command? E.g., I can type "/Subject" (no quotes) to jump to the
next occurrence of "Subject". Now I want to jump to the line (anywhere on that
line is OK) that contains "Subject" but does not contain "some topic" in a text
file I'm reading. How can I do that? It seems the "/" command in vi doesn't understand regular expressions. Thanks for help.
