swbuff & regular expressions question

swbuff & regular expressions question

[Dreamer]

I'm using emacs together with swbuff extension.
In swbuff you can declare excluding list.
I've defined:
(setq swbuff-exclude-buffer-regexps '("^ " "\\*.*\\*" "TAGS*"))

i want to improve "\\*.*\\*" that says do not include files that beging
and end with stars to do the same but exclude Man files (which looks
like *Man XXX*).

can someone write me the regular expression that will filter all
*something* but except *Man something*???

thanks alot

What should the regexp match?  List the positive cases:

*, then up to four characters, then *
*, then a character that isn't M, then anything, then *
*M, then a character that isn't a, then anything, then *
*Ma, then a character that isn't n, then anything, then *

I think you can complete the list yourself.
