One additional source for Regexp in general and in depth is the book by Jeffrey Friedl,"Mastering Regular Expressions", published at O'Reilly.
I have to admit that I couldn't solve the problem you were mentioning
in some reasonable time -- and didn't really get a concise clue from
cross-reading that book either - even though it's considered the encyclopedia
of the subject.
I don't really understand why you can't do the search in two steps:

1.  search for everything that contains bar as a substring and
2 . eliminate it from all results ...?

Best regards,
