New submission from Jamie Murray <txr...@gmail.com>: The first char in a word is omitted from being checked against the 'range' element of the 1st part of this expression.
The second char is properly checked to see if it's in range # Desired safe string to expect goodString = "f42e6be1-29bf-4f3c-ba58-1ae1d9ca5f88" # Test string to return False if it's not within reg ex range. # but still returns a false positive even though the g at the start is outside of a-f range. badString = "g42e6be1-29bf-4f3c-ba58-1ae1d9ca5f88" # 2nd test string which does return a false result correctly. otherBadString = "fg2e6be1-29bf-4f3c-ba58-1ae1d9ca5f88" See attached file for example.
