Did you try the translator for such a short sentence?
Its version:
Lamento no haber hecho esto antes.
Its other version that used what I think is a better verb (arrepentirse) did not look correct to me.

Actually, I think "lamentar" is the appropriate verb. "Arrepentirse" is to have a change of heart because you regret an action you have done. - gintar77, Jul 19, 2011
I don't know, I could be wrong. - gintar77, Jul 19, 2011
Perhaps it is acceptable to say "Me arrepiento de no haber hecho esto antes." - gintar77, Jul 19, 2011
Soounds perfect to me, Q. - galsally, Jul 19, 2011
The translator said " No me arrepiento de haber hecho esto antes" when I tried it which is incorrect. - 0074b507, Jul 19, 2011
