Regex to include and exclude without lookahead

Question

I want to match a URL containing both "foo" and "bar" but not "bar=0".

I'm trying to do this in Google Analytics and it doesn't support lookahead expressions.

So I am matching urls containing both "foo" and "bar" with this expression (foo.+bar) but how do I negate urls with "bar=0"?

Could you please post some of those URLs ? – Ibrahim Najjar Aug 20 '13 at 10:54 — Ibrahim Najjar, Aug 20 '13 at 10:54

You can use this regex:

\bfoo\b.+\bbar\b(?:$|=[^0]|[^=])

This won't match URLs with `bar=3` which seems to be accepted by the question. – Ibrahim Najjar Aug 20 '13 at 10:54

foo.+bar[^\=]

for this to make any sense, please post a example of a url you are trying to validate
