Help please for regex to omit all posts with ARK in subject

[OldBoy]

I have read http://www.newsbin.com/nb33help/regexp.htm

But I am struggling to write a Newsbin regex which will omit all posts with ARK in the subject. This is for use in the filter box with the Find button. I am on NB 4.32.

[^A][^R][^K] does not seem to work.

Nor does [^ARK].

What regex should I use?

Perl RE doesn't really have a "not". Easiest way to do this is put in a reject filter under Subject Filters for a Filter Profile.

The way I work, I would much prefer not to have to change filters.

Is there no expression in regex which will show all posts which do *not* have the string 'ARK' (without quotes) in the subject?

Maybe ARK can be defined in regex as a single string (how?) and then the negation of that string used as a filter. Or something like that?

Can anyone advise.

Regex (generic) supports a NOT command to exclude things.

Newsbin's implementation doesn't, so no you can't have an exclusion find.

The closest would be to select everything with ARK and mark-as-read then process the rest.

Since you're doing this in the find box you're obviously not do autodownload where you could just put it in the exclude subject filter.
