There may be a better way, but something like this will work:
body __MINISTER1 /prime minister/i body __MINISTER2 /minister/i meta MINISTER (__MINISTER2 && !__MINISTER1)

Hello all,
I am stumped on a regex problem and was wondering if some of the regex gurus
on the list wouldn't mind lending a hand.
I need a rule that will match minister but not prime minister (all /i).
I've tried looking at the negative look behind syntax but I just cant seem
to get it to work right. Any rule I can formulate still seems to hit on the
minister portion of the string.
(?<!(prime ))minister
is as close to what I can regexfully explain what I want to do but I don't
want to match minister on the above.
Thanks in advance.
Jason
