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}$" into tRegex
The error is:
illegal escape in string
'^[A-Z0-9._%+-]{1,64}@(?:[A-Z0-9-]{1,63}\.){1,125}[A-Z]{2,63}$’
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.
