To create a regular expression that excludes a specific character, you can use a negated character class. This can be done by using a caret (^) followed by the character you want to exclude inside square brackets [].


For example, if you want to match any word that does not contain the letter "a", you can use the following regex:

1
[^a]+


In this regex:

  •  indicates a word boundary
  • [^a] specifies that any character except "a" should be matched
  • specifies that the preceding character class should be matched one or more times


You can customize this regex based on your specific requirements and the character you want to exclude.
