Yes, when you put characters in square brackets, such as [abc] it means “any one of these.” And the caret means “not” so [^abc] means “not any of these.”

You would probably have to do something like .+?(?=shining) to grab the text before the word (that’s a “positive lookahead”), and then use a positive lookbehind to capture the text after the word.
