perl match some char but not include someone










0















I have some string patterns like the following



(group 1)[(group 2)]


group 1 would be mixed chars of following



(1) include a-zA-Z but not BCD



(2) include s but not t



How can I use regex for group1 ?



like this ? ([a-zA-Z|^BCD]+|[s|^t]+)



Actually, what I want to do is



John [….]
John [….]
John [….]
Jahn [….]
Jaja [….]
laja [….]



I want to use a regex method to include John and exclude Jahn, Jaja, laja.



That's to include some specific patterns and exclude some specific patterns in one regex declaration.

          There is no way in current Perl regex to modify a character class; if you want to exclude something from a character class, you just have to enumerate the characters you want.



          [a-zA-Z] minus [BCD] is [a-zAE-Z].



          s minus t is [nfr ] (also somewhat depending on flags etc; see https://perldoc.perl.org/perlrecharclass.html)
