RegEx do not match

string:

"Btw-nummer: NL855162508B01 NL855162508B02 "

Regex code used:

(^((?!NL855162508B01).))([A-Za-z]{2}\d{9}[A-Za-z]\d{2})

Regex do not match: NL855162508B01

But do match: NL855162508B02

As seen in this Regexr I have used: https://regexr.com/5im28

Desired behavior: match NL855162508B02

Can you guys help?

You were almost there, but this part (?!NL855162508B01). first matches any character except a newline due to the .

You are using 3 capturing groups, which can all be omitted if you need a match only.

To also match the string when it is not directly at the start, you can omit the anchor ^ and use word boundaries \b

\b(?!NL855162508B01\b)[A-Za-z]{2}\d{9}[A-Za-z]\d{2}\b
