Do not use a regexp for this. Instead, use some other kind of
feature that allows negation. For example, Emacs has the flush-lines
command, but it also has the complementary keep-lines.
What do you want to do? Then we can help and point you to the right
feature you need.
(It is possible to define a regexp that does what you want, but it
will make your head swim. Details provided on request, if you prove
that you have a good and solid seat and a barf bag.)
