Eclipse file search - How do I search for a particular string

In Eclipse, using the File Search feature, I am trying to do a file search over a large package for files containing <button and class="someclass", but without type="button".

In a more general sense, how do I search for some text while excluding results of they contain another bit of text?

CTRL + H and then choose File Search, there you can check the Regular expression option.

In order to get what you want, you can try entering something like this:

^(?!.*type="button").class="someclass".$

You can get more general regex information for Eclipse's File Search at this page.
