Do not use a regexp for this.  Instead, use some other kind of
feature that allows negation.  For example, Emacs has the flush-lines
command, but it also has the complementary keep-lines.

What do you want to do?  Then we can help and point you to the right
feature you need.

(It is possible to define a regexp that does what you want, but it
will make your head swim.  Details provided on request, if you prove
that you have a good and solid seat and a barf bag.)
