Grappling inside Vim (with pipe)

I want to create a list of "quickfix" (see :help quickfix) with all files containing lines with "abc" but not "xyz". I was hoping I could run the following vim ex command:

:grep -nHr abc * | grep -v xyz

Unfortunately, vim doesn't like the pipe, and the team crashes. What is the best way to do this from within vim?

For some reason I can't leave it alone!

How about a use :!grep ... > filenamefollowed by :cf filenamethat will open the output as a quick delete list.

You can do this in two steps:

:!(grep -nHr abc * | grep -v xyz >| qf.txt)
:cfile qf.txt | copen

, , , :

fu! Mygrep(pat1, pat2)
  let cmd = "silent !(grep -nHr " . a:pat1 . " * | grep -v " . a:pat2 . " >| qf.txt)"
  silent exec cmd
  cfile qf.txt
  copen 
endfunction

, :

:call Mygrep("abc", "xyz")

You can set grepprgwhich determines which command Vim uses to execute :grep. This may take the pipe, although I have not tried it.

Of course, this will affect all your :greps
