You're close ... [^cC]at should match any single character that is not c (or C) followed by "at"
-----Original Message----- From: Teel, C. Doug [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2003 10:33 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Regex help Regex help please. I've been busting my brain on this one. Here's what I'm trying to do, I could have string like: "...a cat hat prate at bird..." And I want to match all the "at" strings except the "at" string in the "cat". I tried a bunch of stuff like: "(^C)?at" but that didn't work. Is this possible? Thanks in advance, Doug ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com
