I posted something which didn't quite work, as Julf says:

^--(|.|..|...(|[^B]|B[^E]|BE[^G]|BEG[^I]|BEGI[^N]|BEGIN[^ ]|BEGIN [^P]\
|BEGIN P[^G]|BEGIN PG[^P]))

Some implementations don't support empty alternation, so that could be
changed with the ? syntax, since (|a) and (a?) are the same.

That should do it.
