Re: Regula expressions: How to find a string without some other string

I got excellent answer using NEGATIVE, from Jürgen on my private e-mail.

>I would use negative look-ahead (":help /\@!"):
> /AAA\(000\)\@!\d\d\d\D/
>
>This matches 3 "A"s, three digits, which must not be "000", and one non-digit.
>Note that \(000\)\@! does not consume any character, thus "\d\d\d" will match
>at the same position where "\(000\)\@!" matched.
>
>Regards,
>Jürgen
