Syntax: <code>NOT_MATCH(string, regex)</code>

Description: Returns <code>true</code> if the first argument does not match the regular expression provided as second argument. The alternative shorthand version <code>!~</code> is available.

The regex must be a POSIX regular expression. You can use <a href="https://regex101.com/r/hgV9Bq/1" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">this tool to test your regular expressions</a>.

Note that backslashes (<code>\</code>) need to be escaped in strings. So typical regex patterns such as <code>\d</code> will have to be written <code>\\d</code> in regex strings. See the examples below.

<code>NOT_MATCH(author_username, "^jo")</code> OR <code>author_username !~ "^jo"</code> returns <code>true</code> when the author username does not start with "jo".

<code>NOT_MATCH(url, "github.com")</code> returns <code>true</code> when the URL does not contain "github.com", otherwise returns <code>false</code>.

<code>NOT_MATCH("1234", "\\d+")</code> returns <code>false</code> since the string contains numbers.

<code>title !~ "(?c)fix"</code> returns <code>true</code> when the title of the item does not contain "fix" at any place, with any letter casing. Otherwise returns <code>false</code>.
