Regex match string1 but not string2 - help please

[lonewolf]

Its probably really easy, but I have not been able to crack this one.

I need a regex for AWStats that will match in the URL /blog but not /feed. I can match every occurrence of /blog or every line that does not contain /feed, but not both together.

e.g.
/blog/category/uebgrsekbgisuebgr/erthsrth/4/ WILL match
/blog/feed/atom will NOT match
/blog/2007/05/13 WILL match
/blog/feed will NOT match
/blog WILL match

So far I have:


^/blog/([^feed])

But that's not matching anything.

I have been using Regulazy (http://tools.osherove.com/Default.aspx?tabid=182) to build and test my regex, as well as testing within AWStats.


Please could somebody help me with this expression.

Thanks in advance

Tim

I'm not great at regex, so forgive me if this is buggy. It works with all the scenarios you gave though:


/blog/?([^(feed)]{4}).*

Hope that at least gets you on the right track ;)
