APM: Regex Question

[David Bluestein II]

Okay I want to do the following in this order:

s~(/nexres/reservations/application[^"])+~VALUE$1~g
s~/nexres/reservations[^"]+~VALUE2~g

How do I construct REGEX #2 so that it doesn't match the result from 
#1? I need something like:

/nexres/reservations([^"]+) where $1 is not like '/a.*'

I know there is something like that, but don't remember the syntax.

Thanks-

David
