Thanks for some quick help. I am sure this is an easy question, but I am struggling to get this work. It might be that my regular expression was not correct.
I have a text field that I want to check. I want to test that the word "checked" is NOT in a string. I have tried various combinations of using the operator "not equals" with wild cards *checked*. I also tried using a matches with regular expressions.
So my example text that I am checking is something like.
file name, checked out (or checked out to)

Example of using regular expressions in the reference manual:
^.*[^(EXAMPLE)].*\$
It isn't working and it shouldn't work. Because it will always return true.
From wikipedia:
"[^ ] Matches a single character that is not contained within the brackets. For example, [^abc] matches any character other than "a", "b", or "c". [^a-z] matches any single character that is not a lowercase letter from "a" to "z". Likewise, literal characters and ranges can be mixed."
So in example it matches 'EXAMPLE STRINGEXAMPLE'. The only way to return false is to check the same string 'EXAMPLE'. You can test in any RegExp calc.
As i understood, the only way to "test that the word "checked" is NOT in a string" it's using '.*(?!EXAMPLE).*'
But we have another problem - still non-fixed issue:

Yes, in jubula 7.1 you sill cannot use question mark without single quotes. With single quotes it becomes just a text, not a regExp modificator.
PS offtopic: I used "another problem". Would "another issue" be more correctly in such phrase?..
