I'm working with OCR'd documents with frequently repeated titles, like "CBS EVENING NEWS WITH WALTER". For cases where WITH is completely misspelled, as in "CBS EVENING NEWS BIFG WALTER", I need to find that string and replace it with WITH. Pseudocode would be something like "find NEWS followed by any single word except WITH, followed by WALTER. Replace with NEWS WITH WALTER".



I'm having no luck specifying "any string except this", like "CBS EVENING NEWS [!WITH] WALTER". Search just says it's not found.

Is it possible to specify a particular string using [!], or does it work only for single characters?
