One of the regular expressions in there is called safetext and looks like:

I am writing a tool to help students learn regular expressions. I will probably be writing it in Java.
The idea is this: the student types in a regular expression and the tool shows which parts of a text will get matched by the regex. Simple enough.
But I want to support several different regex…

I have a regex, for example ([m]{2}|(t){1}). It matches ma and t and doesn't match bla.
I want to negate the regex, thus it must match bla and not ma and t, by adding something to this regex. I know I can write bla, the actual regex is however more complex.
