how can I search files without replacing values

I am new to WildEdit. Is it possible to search to retrieve and see all file lines containing a specified string in a given directory path using WildEdit?
How about a search with an optional (user queried for each instance) replace?
Thanks,
Victor

I am also interested in this. My first guess is to search a regular expression
^<beginning of line> but when I try that those lines end up replaced. There must be a "not" character I can precede my desired line with, maybe the exclamation point or something similar. If I find the right one I will post it in this thread.
