Both the versions are correct. Maybe the sentence might be more
descriptive instead of providing an example, e.g.:
"a.\{-...@!" will match any string beginning with an "a" (NOTE: also
one ending with a "p") that isn't followed by a "p", because the "."
can match any single character (including a "p") and "p...@!" doesn't
match after that.
