Ruby Regex How to specify not to match

Question

How do you say not to match in Ruby Regex

ex. you do not want to return true if it sees 'error'

/\\b(error)\\b/i

I know this returns true when it sees error, how do you say 'not' in this case? thanks!

Answer 1

使用正确的Ruby运算符：

/\b(error)\b/i !~ someText

Answer 2

I would do something like the following excuse the /error/ pattern not sure exactly what you want to match here

return true unless b =~ /error/

or

return true if b !~ /error/
