[ILUG] regexp to match anything except a line that starts with something specific

[Caolan McNamara]

I'm trying to make a regexp which will match any line except a line that
starts with "slot:" I've got ^([^s]|s[^l]|sl[^o]|slo[^t]|slot[^:]).*
which matches any line that doesn't have "slot:" in it, but lines that
don't start with "slot:" but nevertheless contain it are still matched
by the regexp. Any ideas ? It's got to be a regexp for other
constraints.
