How to exclude a character from [] using RegEx

I am using PHP preg_match_all, and this is what I can get so far ....

[A-Za-z+\W]+\s[\d]

The only problem is that I need \ W not to be ".

So I tried:

[A-Za-z+[^\dA-Za-z"]\s?]+\s[\d]


[A-Za-z+]\s?+[^A-Za-z\d"]?\s[\d]

by the way, and he just fails, and I really can't understand why.

EDIT:

Here is the whole RegEx;

([A-Z][a-z]+\s){1,5}\s?[^a-zA-Z\d\s:,.\'\"]\s?
[A-Za-z+\W]+\s[\d]{1,2}\s[A-Z][a-z]+\s[\d]{4}

I divided it into two lines, the second line begins with what I published.

The pattern you show matches all letters and characters without words. The only thing that is not included in the template is numbers, and you also should not match a double quote.

[^\d\"_]+\s\d
