Yup, the things inside the [^] construct, to _not_ be matched, are
treated as a list of single characters. So you're saying "anything
that's not a '1' or a '-'," but then you've got a '1' in the middle of
the line. If you want the highlighting to include any character, but not
span newlines, you could just use [^\n] instead.
At this point you'll probably want to read the regular expression part
of the manual:
(elisp) Regular Expressions
I think you mentioned you don't have a lot of programming experience.
That's a bit unfortunate, since regexps aren't a great place to start!
I'd recommend getting something that's "close enough", and not going
down the rabbit hole of perfect. Then start at the top of the
introduction to elisp...
Good luck,
Eric
