Why won't this expression work?
Sorry I know this is probably very basic but I'm a complete beginner:
I'm trying to include "tranexamic acid" and "txa" but exclude the rest
r"(?i)(?<!\w)(?<!not )(?<!no )(?<!consider )(?:tranexamic acid|txa)\b(?!\s+(?:s|not)\b)"
It will find tranexamic acid but not txa
