One that worked for me was               Try it online   Explanation          - any character except newline        - create a group         - match a backslash  and any characters after it        - end group        - this all has to happen at the end of the string

A negative look ahead is a correct answer  but it can be written more cleanly like                  This looks for an occurrence of   and then in a check that does not get matched  it looks for any number of characters followed by the character you don t want to see after it  Because it s negative  it only matches if it does not find a match

You can try anchoring it to the end of the string  something like            Though I m not sure if one absolutely has to use regexp for the task
