Subject: Re: Reg Exp

Problem is i have function, which takes a regex as the parameter. I want 
to pass this regex in such a way that the function returns false if the 
string is matched and true if it isn't. I want the regex itself specify 
that if it matches the given string then it is false otherwise true.
