regular expresions: java: matching lines with out string
 

I am interfacing with a java program and i am having trouble figuring out howto match all lines that do not contain "string"

(.*string.*)
will match all lines with "string" but i need to opposite.

also i need lines that do not contain "?"
i assume its just "/?" for the string but im not sure

thanks
jeff
