Can Find/GREP be used to find files that DO NOT have a particular content?

Could I search a location for files that do NOT contain the text "This line must be here."and have BBEdit identify/list those files?

One possible solution is to open all the files, do a of the must-be-there text, changing it to the identical text and not saving changes to disk. Then all unmodified files would be the ones without the needed text.

But is there a way to flag files which are missing the needed text without something like an unnecessary Find/Replace?
