DESCRIBE CIRCUMSTANCES OF YOUR QUESTION
using the line that contains @DB/ as a starting point
I would like to locate any line with the @DB/ that does NOT have /001" at the end

Here is the data I currently have (“before” data):

Please read this FAQ before asking future questions. That will help us help you.

I also notice that you gave us example data that includes non-matches, but no matches. Every single line in your example that contains @DB also contains /001". Again, that information would have helped us help you.

In any case, the regular expression (?-si)(?=.+@DB.*)(?!.*/001"$).* will match every line that contains @DB and does not end with /001".

In the below example, only lines (3, 9, and 12) would match.

&LOG Part_Description: ""
&LOG Associated_Files_Directory: ""
&LOG Naming_Technique: DEFAULT_NAMING Clone_Name: "@DB/ THIS WILL MATCH 1"
&LOG Part: "PN1204-10-00A-prt489.prt"
&LOG Naming_Technique: DEFAULT_NAMING Clone_Name: "@DB THIS WILL NOT MATCH 1/001"
&LOG Container: ""
&LOG Part_Type: ""
&LOG Part_Name: ""
&LOG Naming_Technique: DEFAULT_NAMING Clone_Name: "@DB/ THIS WILL MATCH 2"
&LOG Container: ""
&LOG Naming_Technique: DEFAULT_NAMING Clone_Name: "@DB/THIS WILL NOT MATCH 2/001"
&LOG Naming_Technique: DEFAULT_NAMING Clone_Name: "@DB/THIS WILL MATCH 3"
&LOG Naming_Technique: DEFAULT_NAMING Clone_Name: "@DB/THIS WILL NOT MATCH 3/001"
&LOG FJKRERJKJREKJREKJREKRJEKO: ""
&LOG Naming_Technique: DEFAULT_NAMING Clone_Name: "@DB/THIS WILL NOT MATCH 4/001"

Sorry I didn’t realize that I needed to include lines without the /001
In my attempt to create the expression I was not even close. I didn’t even get the last group of the expression correct
I’d been manually searching for the lines without the /001, and had been at it for 3 hours before contacting the Community.
Thank you very much for the assistance
