Matching a line without either of two words
I was wondering how to match a line without either of two words?
For example, I would like to match a 开发者_运维百科line without neither Chapter
nor Part
. So neither of these two lines is a match:
("Chapter 2 The Economic Problem 31" "#74")
("Part 2 How Markets Work 51" "#94")
while this is a match
("Scatter Diagrams 21" "#64")
My python-style regex will be like (?<!(Chapter|Part)).*?\n
. I know it is not right and will appreciate your help.
Try this:
^(?!.*(Chapter|Part)).*
@MRAB's solution will work, but here's another option:
(?m)^(?:(?!\b(?:Chapter|Part)\b).)*$
The .
matches one character at a time, after the lookahead checks that it's not the first character of Chapter
or Part
. The word boundaries (\b
) make sure it doesn't incorrectly match part of a longer word, like Partition
.
The ^
and $
are start- and end anchors; they ensure that you match a whole line. $
is better than \n
because it also matches the end of the last line, which won't necessarily have a linefeed at the end. The (?m)
at the beginning modifies the meaning of the anchors; without that, they only match at the beginning and end of the whole input, not of individual lines.
