But I'll leave the answer visible as an example of what won't work .
You want a lookahead assertion: ^[0-9]+(?!AB$)[A-Z]+$ Without look-ahead:
^[0-9]+([B-Z]|A[AC-Z])[A-Z]*$
Edit:
Withdrawn, because this won't match something like 123A .

$('#tweet').keyup(function(){ var s = $(this).text(); if(s.length > 140) $(this).text(s.substring(0,140)) });

Then you can delete the beginning and ending ones.
All you need to do is add a "+" after your bracket expression to eliminate runs of multiple underscores .
Just add ;s/__*/_/g;s/^_//;s/_$// just after g in your sed command .
