Probably (?!.*validate)password(?!.*validate), so it checks before and after.

I don't think you're being clear. I think you want it to only choose the password that is tied to the word 'validate', not the one later on ? You need to narrow down your search, for example, to break on whitespace. There are a number of regex test tools you can download, you should get one and work with it. you should also be more clear in your question. What exactly do you want to match and not match ? I think that writing your question more clearly will make you see the rules you need to apply to make it work, and if not, it will tell us what you want ( which is not clear now )

Sorry for not being clear on this one. Im just new to this thing, have download editpadpro and trying myself using the 30 minutes Regex Tutorial and try some others tutorial. But still cant do this after some hours, so i asked here.

Let me get it more clear. I want to make a regex that choose a 'password' thats not preceeded and followed by 'validate' based on this string, so it will not choose this string if im using the regex.
