To exclude a string of a particular size from a regular expression, you can use negative lookahead. For example, if you want to match all strings that are between 3 and 5 characters long but not the ones with the exact size of 4 characters, you can use the following regular expression:
^(?!.{4}$).{3,5}$
This negative lookahead expression (?!.{4}$) will exclude any string that has exactly 4 characters, and the rest of the regular expression will match any string between 3 and 5 characters long.
