in reply to regex checking

I hope my question was clear enough :)
Indeed it is clear enough. However I'm not sure it is well posed. More precisely, I'm far from being a regex expert, but I strongly doubt that for a generic regex there would be a unique way not to match a given string.

    In fact, that regex I'm applying on the strings in the array is a sort of filter, so I was wondering if there was a way to know why a string or another didn't match, and at which position in the string it didn't match.
