How can I match with regular expression?
-2
What I really want to do is to match all words what ever substring contain.it is working but I tried with one word.I don't want to match that string but any extra char added to that string I want to match.Like below
^(?!wallet)(car|cell phone|marbles|wallet|.*?wall.*)$
In above example I dont want to match with wallet but able to match with wallett.is it possible?

How are you using that regex? What is the desired output for a given input? The question is slightly unclear

You can use it like this:
^(?!(wallet|nag)$)(car|cell phone|marbles|wallet|.*?wall.*)$

The problem with your Regex is that the negative lookahead will match everything starting with "wallet". "wallett" also starts with "wallet" so it will be matched and therefore (as it is a negative lookahead) excluded.
You can fix that by adding the $ anchor to be sure it only matches wallet with nothing after it.
So your regex will become this:
^(?!wallet$)(car|cell phone|marbles|.*?wall.*)$
(Note that the latter "wallet" in your regex can be removed as it is equal to the negative lookahead so it will never match.)
You can see a live example here.

The problem with your Regex is that the negative lookahead will match everything starting with "wallet". "wallett" also starts with "wallet" so it will be matched and therefore (as it is a negative lookahead) excluded.
You can fix that by adding the $ anchor to be sure it only matches wallet with nothing after it.
So your regex will become this:
^(?!wallet$)(car|cell phone|marbles|.*?wall.*)$
(Note that the latter "wallet" in your regex can be removed as it is equal to the negative lookahead so it will never match.)
You can see a live example here.
