I believe that the following regex should do the job.

/^(?!.*neither).*nor.*$/mi

No, it disallows following instances of "neither". `$ perl -E'say "a nor b neither" =~ /^(?!.neither).nor.*$/mi ?1:0' 0` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Nice catch. Didn't even test that kind of scenario. Took a few minutes after reading your post to realize why my suggested regex was incorrect. Another example of Perl doing what I told it to do instead of what I wanted it to do. :D	[reply]
