I have a function that strips trailing whitespace on save. In my .vimrc I have 
the line

   autocmd BufWritePre * if &ft =~ 'sh\|perl\|python\....' | :call 
<SID>StripTrailingWhitespaces() | endif

What I would like is to negate that into matching everything but "condition".

This works OK for known filetypes:

    autocmd BufWritePre * if &ft !=# 'text' | :call 
<SID>StripTrailingWhitespaces() | endif

but I also want to match when filetype is not set. I have tried various with no 
luck.

I was also advised to use:

   autocmd FileType * if <amatch> !=# 'text' | ...


but can't see how that is correct, nor can I get it to work.
