IIS Rewrite Regular Expression rule

Question

I am using IIS 7's URL Rewrite module. I have a rule where I am trying to say, if the url matches /news/<anything but the word "article">

<match url="news/([^/]+)"/>

How can I acheive this?

thanks higgsy

Answer 1

Try adding a negative lookahead:

news/(?!article)([^/]+)

The (?!...) part says "fail if ... matches" (but don't consume the characters).
