Opposite of a Regex

The rules of the regex are simple:

Example:

"thing to say" france (true)

"thing to say" OR thing (false)

"thing to say" | thing (false)

I'm trying to find a regex to help me do that (with a pregs_split)

I only could do something like /\||OR| \|| OR| \| | OR |\| | OR/ really basic but I need a regex for the opposite case.

Use a negative lookahead

"thing to say" ?(?!\||OR)

EDIT: your comment split by a space followed by "OR" or "|" is different than what I understood your question to be. In that case it would actually make sense to use a positive lookahead:

/ (?=\||OR)/
