How to ensure, using regex, that a string doesn't begin with
I have code with both angular.module and module, I am trying to make sure I only get module. I tried (?!\.)(module) using regex but when it is .module it still matches.

How can I just match ones that do not have a period?

(?!) defines a negative lookahead.
Use (?<!) instead (negative lookbehind), assuming your regex engine supports that.
