Which language/script are you looking for, you can actually negate the
result like in perl it is '!~' also grep has a command line option to do
the same.

sorry, should have been more specific. This is an apache rewrite rule. My site
is

http://example.com

I want all calls to this site to be rewritten as
http://example.com/2009/. For example:
http://example.com/home/ should become http://example.com/2009/home/. So here ;
the logic is that is the url does not start with '2009/', that should be
inserted, otherwise it should be left alone.
