How can I write a regular expression that will not match if a string contains a particular substring
- by Iain Fraser
Example:
Suppose in the following example I want to match strings that do not contain the word "NOOOT".
Example A: This shirt is NOOOT black.
Example B: This shirt is black.
I want something a little bit like the like the non-matching character class (e.g. [^abc]), but for whole strings:
.*?(^NOOOT).*?
Does such a creature exist?
