grep can only print out (or exclude if using -v) whole lines.
You could have used sed to remove part of the line:
users | sed 's/username//g'

Hi all,
I'm interested in printing out only the prefix of a formatted set of filenames. All files of this type have the same 8 character suffix. I'm using KSH.

HISTORY
The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool. It was prompted
by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.

shtool(1), sed(1).
