Hi

I don't know if you need to check the caps, but your regex could be /cisco/i
(the i is for case insensitive)
To "ban" certain words, you' could use lookaround expression -and I don't
know if Ruby supports it-, but I personally find cleaner check
programatically against a list, and add the "exceptions" to that list.

Hope it helps :-)

Diego.
