Regular Expression check for non matching string

[outoftherealm]

I was hoping sombody may be able to assist me in writing a regular
expression that checks to see if a string does not match.

I have ^(Select Salesperson)$ and currently this matches and I cant
find a way to say not equal.

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks!

You are better off using the inequality operator rather than a regex in
this case.
