Can somebody please help me with this regular expression? I'm trying to find out how I can type "any character except the string 'END FINANCIAL INFORMATION'", but without succes so far.

You could use forward lookahead for this: "(?:(?!END FINANCIAL INFORMATION).)+" which matches any sequence of characters not containing the string "END FINANCIAL INFORMATION". HTH, John.
