A negative look-ahead assertion is a zero-width assertion that allows you to not match a subpattern beyond the current position (look-ahead) without moving the matching position. Positive look-ahead assertion is expressed as (?!pattern). For example:
\w+(?!-) - matches a word not followed by a '-'
The regular expression to match find words without 'oo' is:
+(?!\w*oo)(\w+)
+ - skip space characters
(?!\w*oo) - any word without '00' ahead?
(\w+) - capture the word
