The entire string has to be matched, so the ^ and $ are redundant. Meaning, for example, that "monotone" and ".*monotone.*" are entirely different. > I know about [^...] in regular expressions, but that's not > quite the same. We're using boost::regex, which already supports what you want: Forward Lookahead Asserts There are two forms of these; one for positive forward lookahead asserts, and one for negative lookahead asserts: "(?=abc)" matches zero characters only if they are followed by the expression "abc". "(?!abc)" matches zero characters only if they are not followed by the expression "abc". http://www.boost.org/libs/regex/doc/syntax.html So, to\.cryp\.(?!foobar).* is what you want.
