Trouble with string matching syntax in jQuery RegEx

I'm trying to add a class to all links not containing my domain external links.

problem is some links are https, some are missing the http, some have www, etc, so i need to search for "example" in any part of the string...

here's the jQuery that i think is close:

.find("a:not([@href^=http://www.example.com*])")

here's the regex i know i want:

"^[^google]*$"

Thanks!

found the answer...doh, should have searched better. Select <a> which href ends with some string

.find('a:not([href*="google"])').not('[href^=#]').attr({ target: '_blank' });

*= matches anything.

Use lookaround, in this case negative lookahead:

^(?:(?!google).)+$
