Hi!

I can seem to validate an email address. I'm using short free text question on a Limesurvey 1.91+ version.

When I put

"/^(\w[-._+\w]*\w@\w[-._\w]*\w\.\w{2,3})$/"

in validation filed and click Save RegEx changes to

"/^(\\w[-._+\\w]*\\w@\\w[-._\\w]*\\w\\.\\w{2,3})$/" (double slashes inside).

And of course it doens't not work. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you,

Andrej

Hi,

/(\w[-._\w]*\w@\w[-._\w]*\w\.\w{2,3})/

Cf. doc

It's the same. If I insert your /(\w[-._\w]*\w@\w[-._\w]*\w\.\w{2,3})/ and save

it changes to /(\\w[-._\\w]*\\w@\\w[-._\\w]*\\w\\.\\w{2,3})/

very weird...

Have a look at this previous post to get an example about how you can set your regex using embeded javascript.

On the other hand, maybe it's time to update your installation if you can, for the less to the 1.92 release.
