Regexp problem

C

chatiman

Hello,

I'd like to match a line which does not begin with a given words and match a
given regexp.
eg:
lines which contains "bar" but does not begin with "foo"

I tried the following regexp but this doesn't work:
/^(?<!foo).*bar/

Any ideas to do that in 1 regexp?

You are looking in the wrong direction.

Any ideas to do that in 1 regexp?


/^(?!foo).*bar/
