Thanks for all the replies... I tried using

  EXPRESSION  /[^a]/

but it doesn't work... it still matches fields that contain an 'a'.  The
'man regex' on my test system (RH6.2) does mention the [^...]
'non-matching list' operator so it should support it but it doesn't
work.

Has anyone ever been able to use the [^...] operator with MapServer
REGEX?  Perhaps it's just the way the above expression is built that's
not correct?

P.S. I also tried /[^a]*/ and /[^a]+/ just in case but it made no
difference.
