It sounds like you want to use a zero-width negative lookahead assertion. For example: test(?!-end) I don't believe this is something Jakarta regexp supports. oro and java.util.regex implement zero-width negative lookahead assertions. You should probably use java.util.regex. daniel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: regexp-user-unsubscr...@jakarta.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: regexp-user-h...@jakarta.apache.org
