I want to use a regex to find a particular string in my sample, but I want the regex to fail if I first find another string. Let me give an example:

Match find_me only if we do not first encounter stop_here. (I don’t care if stop_here occurs later in the sample.)

So, this should match:

blah blah find_me blah stop_here

But this shouldn’t:

blah blah stop_here blah find_me

(I’m using the .NET regex engine)
