Non matching regex?

[Max]

Anyone knows how to create a regex expression that matches all strings not
containing a specific word?
I thought the following would work but i dows not.

Dim TestRegex As Regex = New Regex("(?!exp).*")
Dim S As String = "exp"

Dim M As Match = TestRegex.Match(S)

If M.Success Then
Debug.Write("Match")
Else
Debug.Write("No Match")
End If

I think you are looking for the ^ operator.
