Regex question

[Hardy Wang]

Hi:
How to write a pattern to find strings which do not contain some certain
string?
For example, I need to search all strings without "abc" in them.

Thanks!

So, check if string has "abc" inside and skip it if it has.

Why this doesn't work for you?

[Vadym Stetsyak]

you can use
(?!abc)

 

[AlexS]

Does it work for you?

Not for me. I wonder why?

Try this instead:

^((?!abc).)*$
