title: What regex will match every character except comma ',' or semi-colon ';'?
body: <p>Is it possible to define a regex which will match every character except a certain defined character or set of characters?</p>
  
  <p>Basically, I wanted to split a string by either comma (,) or semi-colon (;). So I was thinking of doing it with a regex which would match everything until it encountered a comma or a semi-colon.</p>
