inverse of occur-mode

Occur lets you view the lines that match a particular string or regexp.
Is there a way to view lines that do NOT match a string or regexp (similar 
to -v in grep) ?

thanks,

Copy the buffer to another buffer, then use M-x flush-lines (aka
delete-matching-lines) to remove the lines that match the regexp.
