Regex - Ignore lines with matching text

Question

I need the RegEx command to get all the lines which DO NOT have the job name containing "filewatch". Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

STATUS: FAILURE         JOB: i3-imds-dcp-pd-bo1-05-ftpfilewatcher
STATUS: FAILURE         JOB: i3-cur-atmrec-pd-TD_FTP_Forecast_File_Del_M_Su

Answer 1

If your regular expression implementation supports look-ahead assertions, try this:

^(STATUS|ALARM): +(JOB)?FAILURE +JOB: ((?!filewatch).)+$

Make sure that ^ and $ match the file line begin/end.
