tar'ing and regular expressions

Hi,

How do I tar all but a specific set of files in a directory? Is it possible to use regular expressions in the tar command? I want to tar all files except those beginning with D. I tried this

tar -cvf files.tar ^[^D]

but this didn't work. Anyone any ideas.

Thanks
