Paul,
Steve's regular expression, as he gave in his previous email, does ask
that the *first* character be a K but your original regex only showed
(K...). Steve's REGEX will work if you are asking for patterns
*beginning* with 'K' and followed by three letters or numbers, with the
exception of (^KWAL). Maybe this assumption is okay, but just wanted to
double-check.

Paul,
The following extended regular expression will match any 4 characters
but "KWAL":
([^K]...|K[^W]..|KW[^A].|KWA[^L])
