RE: Bulk source search ignoring commented-out code

www.jcrcmds.com  has a source scan for multiple strings with several options but I don't believe it has a "*NOT contains" option.  Should be easy to modify though.

You could also whip up something pretty easily with CL & SQL.  Just need to use an alias for the member.  I did this a few years ago but don't have the code at hand anymore.
