You'll have to consider which strings you *don't* want to match as well as which ones you do and whether you want to extract any information from the strings or find the ones which match.
But first take a step back and look at the problem as a whole. You didn't say what you are trying to do, and often people will jump at regular expressions as the solution when there may be better ways of doing what they want without writing a regular expression.
