Could you give an example of what you mean, maybe? Do you mean "how do I specifically NOT match a word?" I have no idea what you mean. Please explain.

Ex.

Text is :

<emp type="bold">text here. ( could be a multi-line</emp>

RE is :

/<emp [^<>]*>(.*)</emp>/

now how do I know that .* does not contain any <emp> or </emp> tag? Whis this I want to negate the word/text "<emp>" or "</emp>", How do I do that?


Thanks in advance.

/<emp [^<>]*>(.*?)<\/emp>/

.* matches as many characters as possible
.*? matches as few characters as possible
