Sublime regular expression to match wx.data.xxx but not wx.data.yyy

Question

I want to find all instances where

wx.data.xxx

but not

wx.data.update OR wx.data.get

I tried (wx.data.)[^update][^get] but it doesn't work.

Answer 1

Use negative lookahead instead of a negative character set:

wx\.data\.(?!update|get)[^.\n]+

Answer 2

You could use (?! negative lookahead asserting what is on the right is not get or update.

\S+ matches 1+ times a non whitespace char. If you don't want to match a dot and a whitespace as well, you could use [^.\s]+

\bwx\.data\.(?!get|update)\S+

Regex demo

If for example updates or gets is allowed, you could add a word boundary \b

\bwx\.data\.(?!(?:get|update)\b)\S+
