Exclude arrow symbol in regex?

Question

I have this regex:

r"\]\s*prima\s*1\s*(?!\d+\s+)\S+(?:\s+(?!\d+\b)\S+)*\s*2\s+(?!\d+\b)\S+(?:\s+(?!\d+\b)\S+)*\s*$"

That matches

] prima 1 words 2 words

And excludes 3

However, this also matches:

] prima 1 words → 2 words

How to exclude → ?

the asterisk was to make understand "one or more words". Edited the question — Anna, May 05 '20 at 15:19

You can exclude it using `[^\s→]+` instead of `\S+` https://regex101.com/r/eqGzDI/1 — The fourth bird, May 05 '20 at 15:42

Try r"\]\s*prima\s*1\s*(?![\d]+\s+)([^\s→]+(?:\s+(?![\d]+\b)[^\s→]+)*)\s*2\s+(?![\d]+\b)([^\s→]+(?:\s+(?![\d]+\b)[^\s→]+)*)\s*$"
