    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

      @shortmort37

      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!

        Dan
