Is there a way to do negative and positive lookbehind in VBA regex?
I want to not match if the string starts with \"A\", so I am currently doing ^A at the start of the pattern, then removing the first character of match(0). Obviously not the best method!
I am using the regExp object.

VBA offers positive and negative lookaheads but rather inconsistently not lookbehind.
The best example of using Regex with VBA that I have seen is this article by Patrick Matthews
[Updated example using Execute
rather than Replace
]
While I am not completely clear on your usage you could use a function like this with
- skips any words starting with A
for all words not starting with a it returns everything from the second character on (using a submatch - the pattern inside
(
and)
is submatch 1 -Sub TestString() MsgBox ReducedText("cfat dcat") MsgBox ReducedText("Sat all over the hat again") End Sub Function ReducedText(strIn As String) As String Dim objRegex As Object Dim objRegMC As Object Dim objRegM As Object Dim strOut As String Set objRegex = CreateObject("vbscript.regexp") With objRegex .IgnoreCase = True 'not needed if matching the whole string .Global = True .Pattern = "\b[^a\s]([a-z]+)" If .test(strIn) Then Set objRegMC = .Execute(strIn) For Each objRegM In objRegMC strOut = strOut & objRegM.submatches(0) & vbNewLine Next ReducedText = strOut Else ReducedText = "Starts with A" End If End With End Function

How about putting the ^A in a non-captured group and using the SubMatches property of the Match object to get your matched value?
