Regexp capture words which NOT ends with A

wordA - MUST NOT be captured

word - MUST be captured

This doesn't work....

\w+[^A]\b

Why?

[^A] will match space:

hello world
^^^^^^

Try look-behind:

\w+(?<=[^A])\b

If you're working on english words, try this:

\w+[a-zB-Z_]\b

Try a negative look-behind:

\w+\b(?<!A)
