I'm not very good with regex and I could use some help. I'm trying to match all characters except the ones defined by those ranges (ranges that match most emoji). How would I negate the statement below?

var nonEmoji = new RegExp(/[\ud83c[\udf00-\udfff]|\ud83d[\udc00-\ude4f]|\ud83d[\ude80-\udeff]]*$/, 'i');

Split with the pattern. – Wiktor Stribiżew Dec 18 '19 at 10:29
Can you provide more details, please? – Victor Dragnea Dec 18 '19 at 10:32
@VictorDragnea I think he means that you can use your current pattern as split sequence with [`split()` method](https://developer.mozilla.org/de/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/split). This will just leave the parts besides the split sequence and maybe some empty matches that can be filtered later on. – bobble bubble Dec 18 '19 at 10:38
I mean try `text.split(nonEmoji)`. Or `text.split(nonEmoji).filter(Boolean)` – Wiktor Stribiżew Dec 18 '19 at 10:40
I don't want to use split(). Isn't there a way to negate the above (match all, except the ranges)? – Victor Dragnea Dec 18 '19 at 11:07
