      Newbie here. Not to Notepad++; to regex. And I s*ck at it.

      I want to search and identify all instances of

      example.com/string
      

      where “string” is anything but “abcd”. Any help?

      Dan

        example\.com/(?!abcd)\w+

        The \w+ is a bit dicey, but you didn’t really say what “string” could be.

          Sorry, @Alan-Kilborn. I expect to find most instances where string = ‘59forum’, but I want to identify where string is something else - ‘Events’, ‘Showcase’, and string values I don’t recall. Which, is why I want to identify them!

          I tried your suggestion, and it works. Many thanks!
