[TxMt] Re: Re gular Expression needed

[Christian Eager]

I think you need to use negative lookahead:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1749437/regular-expression-negative-lookahead

(?!%)\w+\s+\([\w\s]+\)

Matches these:

abc (blah blah blah)
dre (blah blah blah)

But doesn't match this:

dre (blah blah bl%ah)

When testing regexes, I use JSRegexTeststand:
