    (?=…) and (?!…) (lookaheads) asserts that the string after it matches/does not match the sub-regex, without actually consuming them. They can appear anywhere. For example

    ^(\d)(?!\1)\d+$
    

    matches

    12345
    67890
    

    but not

    11234
    55678
    

    See http://www.regular-expressions.info/lookaround.html for detail.
