Regex Wildcard

I use .* as a wildcard match in my regular expression. But how do I
write it if I want to match all characters except the following <>
and /

Hi, I stil have problems. For example ^.*kalle.*$ matches the
following string a<bckalleabc. If I use the following ^.*[^<>/]kalle.*
$ I get the same result.

The dot means "any character", and the star means "any number of these",
so you need to replace the dot with [^<>/] and not just stick it in at
random.

^[^<>/]*kalle[^<>/]*$

[^<>/]* means "any number of characters that aren't < > /

Eq.

Thanks for the answer. Yes it works if I replace . with [^<>/]*
