Please advice a regular expression to find all string which are not ended with ".pdf". So, it should find stings "some string" and "some stringpdf", but not the strings like "some string.pdf"
Thanks, Aleksey Asiutin

If that's all you need, you can use a regexp to find .pdf-ended strings, and then reject them when they match, and accept the rest – Leo supports Monica Cellio Feb 07 '13 at 14:32

2@NannuoLei Don't even think about abusing regex for this purpose. – Ja͢ck Feb 07 '13 at 14:39

@Jack you're right, regexp is too mucch for such small task, thank you for pointing it out. – Leo supports Monica Cellio Feb 07 '13 at 18:51

If you are going to test individual string's you can use this regex
/^(?!.*\.pdf$).*$/
If there are multiple string's to be matched within the string,you can use
/(\s|^)(?![^\s]+\.pdf(\s|$))[^\s]+/

here's the regex
/^(?!.*\.pdf$).*/
example:
var r = /^(?!.*\.pdf$).*/;
r.test("some string"); //true
r.test("some stringpdf"); //true
r.test("some string.pdf"); //false
in actually, I recommend the suggestion from @Nannuo Lei.
