regex-not

Create a javascript regular expression for matching everything except for the given string.

Please consider following this project's author, Jon Schlinkert, and consider starring the project to show your :heart: and support.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save regex-not

Usage

var not = require('regex-not');

The main export is a function that takes a string an options object.

not(string[, options]);

Example

var not = require('regex-not');
console.log(not('foo'));
//=> /^(?:(?!^(?:foo)$).)+$/

Strict matching

By default, the returned regex is for strictly (not) matching the exact given pattern (in other words, "match this string if it does NOT exactly equal foo"):

var re = not('foo');
console.log(re.test('foo'));     //=> false
console.log(re.test('bar'));     //=> true
console.log(re.test('foobar'));  //=> true
console.log(re.test('barfoo'));  //=> true

.create

Returns a string to allow you to create your own regex:

console.log(not.create('foo'));
//=> '(?:(?!^(?:foo)$).)+'

Options

options.contains

You can relax strict matching by setting options.contains to true (in other words, "match this string if it does NOT contain foo"):

var re = not('foo');
console.log(re.test('foo', {contains: true}));     //=> false
console.log(re.test('bar', {contains: true}));     //=> true
console.log(re.test('foobar', {contains: true}));  //=> false
console.log(re.test('barfoo', {contains: true}));  //=> false
