Inverting check_snmp status

[nigel.leach at uk.bnpparibas.com]

RHEL AS4 U6
Nagios  v3.2.0 
check_snmp v1.4.14

A small and annoying problem, that I'm hoping will have some whizzy easy 
fix.

I use check_snmp to get the location and contact details of my servers. 
Something like this

        ./check_snmp -H localhost -o sysLocation.0 -l ""
        OK - London XX YYY

This, of course, assumes snmpd.comf has been populated correctly. If it 
hasn't I get something like this

        ./check_snmp -H localhost -o sysLocation.0 -l ""
         OK - Unknown (edit /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf) |

I'd like this to produce a warning, and thought I could achieve this with 
a regular expression, but haven't been able to yet. Is there any way I can 
invert a regex, or use thresholds to force a NOTOK status.

This doesn't work

        ./check_snmp -H localhost -o sysLocation.0 -l "" -r "!etc"
        -bash: !etc: event not found

Not urgent, but any help much appreciated.

Regards
Nigel
