[Chris Kimmel]

is there a not (!) operator in regex? If so, how does one use it. I
am unable to find this information.

Thanks

Hi, Chris

this is ^ symbol. E.g. [^12] will match any character except 1 or 2.

There is and the character is '!'.
I cannot remember off the top of my head at the moment how to use them.
Try regexlib.com
Do a search for negative lookaheads and lookbehinds (I think thats what
theyre called)
