[linux-help] Regexp question

[Jesse Kaufman <glandix@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, I'm trying to get a regexp working to do the following:

match anything that does not match /foobar.* and return it (ie: using
"()"'s)...  how would someone go about negating an entire regexpression
(if that's what you'd call it..)?

ie:

"/foobar/blah" would match the above
"/foobar" would match the above
"/test" would not, and "/test" would be returned

thanks,
gLaNDix
