Hi Stephen,
In LiveCode Builder, quoted strings treat the '\' character as an escape
character. It's explained in the LiveCode Builder Language Reference guide.
So, you need to replace your '\' with '\\', and everything should work nicely
for you.

Hi All,
Working to build a library extension and I’m getting an error on this line when
I go to test it in LCB:
put "^[A-Z0-9._%+-]{1,64}@(?:[A-Z0-9-]{1,63}\.){1,125}[A-Z]{2,63}$" into tRegex
The error is:
illegal escape in string
'^[A-Z0-9._%+-]{
Doesn't seem like it should be treated as an escape character since it's in
quotes, as you say. I'd enter a QCC report about it and see what the LCB
team have to say.

Hi Phil,
Thanks for responding, I’m not one either and it works fine with no issues when
run directly in LC.
Removing the “\” does cure the error, but of course doesn’t work any more.
So the question I guess is two fold: 1) Why is that considered an escape
character when it is enclosed in quo
I'm not much of a regex guy, but what happens if you remove the
backslash after {1,63} ? I assume something will probably stop working,
but that's the only \ in the string.
