Hi, I'm using this regex to find all words ending with apostrophe, excluding the word po’.

Code:

(([^\s]..)|([^p].)|(.[^o]))’\b

Now I'd like to exclude other words (fa’, di’...), so I'm wondering if there is a way to exclude a sequence, something like:

Code:

(?!(\bpo|\bfa|\bdi))’\b

or

Code:

[^(<\bpo>|<\bfa>|<\bdi>)]’\b

(I know these examples don't work... but I hope I gave an idea about what I'm searching for)
