Question

I am using http://www.position-absolute.com/articles/jquery-form-validator-because-form-validation-is-a-mess/ for validation. Validation rules are defined in a following way:

            "onlyLetterSp": {
                "regex": /^[a-zA-Z\ \']+$/,
                "alertText": "* Only letters"
            }

I would like to add new rule, which will exclude one single word. I have read some similar questions on StackOverflow and tried to declare it with something like this

"regex": /(?!exclude_word)\^[a-zA-Z\ \']+$/,

But it didn’t work. Can you give me some advices how to do it?

Answer 1

\b(?:(?!word)\w)+\b

Will not match the “word”.
