^ is not negate
to get everything but, use the -v as previous post

the ^ is a special location character, similar to the $
the ^ locks to the beginning of text and the $ locks to end

sample.txt contains
begin this
more and more
then end

> grep "^begin" sample.txt
begin this
> grep "end$" sample.txt
then end
