Stumped with simple regular expression

My regular expression inadequacies are surfacing again...

I'm trying to write a simple regex to match either the character S, or
the character O, or the phrase SP (but not the phrase SO, or SP, or any
other phrase).

I've tried simply:

[SO]|SP

but that still seems to match the phrase 'SO'

What I really need is something that says, the above, but don't allow
'SO'.

I feel so silly - I thought I was going to get this one done very
quickly...

Any help appreciated,

Bryan
 
Oops - error in above. It should read but not the phrase SO, or OP, or
any
other phrase). SP is OK.
