title: IIS7 URL Rewrite - RegExp to match any string that does not contain a DOT (.)
body: <p>I am using URL Rewrite module 2 in IIS 7.</p>
  
  <p>I have a certain rule for rewriting URLs in IIS. But I want that rule to apply to only strings that DO NOT contain a DOT (<code>.</code>) If the string contains a DOT, I want it to fail and simply be not rewritten.</p>
  
  <p>I thought <code>^([^\.]+)</code> would work but it rejects only strings that start with a DOT.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Examples:</strong></p>
  
  <p><code>"projects", "about", "contact" should be matched.</code></p>
  
  <p><code>"script.js", "default.css" should be rejected.</code></p>
  
  <p>What is the regular expression I should use?</p>
