Question help in regular expression

Hi all,
I'm working with flex (version 2.5.4a) on GNU/linux. I need to frame a regular expression which would match cases where word "file" does not occur. Negated character class wont work for me because they enforce "or" clause between different chars (so something like [^file] wont work). I would like to avoid an explicit expansion.
I hope I'm clear enough. I know this would be pretty simple for few but your help would really be appreciated.
