[IUG] Regular expression help

["McGranahan, Jamen (Library)" <Jamen dot McGranahan at nashville dot gov>]

Using R2006, v. 1.3:

OK, I need a little help with a regular expression I am trying to
create.  It's actually just one line right now, but it would really help
if I understood it.  From last year's IUG, I have been using Richard
Jackson's "Regular Expressions in Create Lists" document for guidance,
but there is one thing that I haven't been able to figure out.  What I
am trying to do is to find all items with a location code that has any
characters EXCEPT for je (consecutively) at points 3 & 4 in the location
code (our code is 5 characters).  So, what I have tried is this:

ITEM LOCATION matches "..[^j][^e].", but I don't think that will work
because the expression is not requiring the existence of both je for
exclusion - which is really what I am needing.  So I have tried this:

ITEM LOCATION matches "..[^je].", but that won't work, either, since
this is an or statement (either j or e at the 3rd letter spot).

So, is there a way I can do this (here's to crossing fingers, hoping
someone has a positive answer for me)?
