if I have a file that has more than these two entries

bats at tt
net-bats at tt

and I do a "grep -v bats" (intention was to get everything except bats 
but net-bats was mistakenly grepped)

How do I specify the beginning of the line and match after that so bats 
is caught not net-bats?

THanks for any suggestions.
