And thanks for your help!

I am trying to do an negative inclusion

I have the following: 0[1-9][0-9]{5} this works for positive inclusion against this:
0258714 0465666 1213655 568464668 225 75487 021523 56556 0236589

but when I try this

(?!0[1-9][0-9]{5})

it doesn't include the opposite
0258714 0465666 1213655 568464668 225 75487 021523 56556 0236589

How could we get this to work?

The lookahead by itself is unanchored and will match all the positions where the assertion is true.

What you can do is use a word boundary followed by the assertion. If it is true, then match 1 or more digits.

\b(?!0[1-9][0-9]{5}\s)\d+

See a regex demo

added an \s to make it work
