Hi there,
I do work on following regex:
^(.*)_a[0-9](.*).htm$
This should be valid for "test_a9393.htm", but not for "9393.htm" as
ther is no leading _a infront of the number.
Unfortunatelly this also works for the 9393.htm file. Can somebody give
me a hint why the regex also is true for text that does not start with
_a infront of the number?
Thank you for any help,
Merlin
Try this:
^(.*)(_a{1})(\d+).htm$
in your regex you are looking for any instance of _, a OR a sequence of
numbers.
I think this will search for zero or more characters, one instance of _a,
then one or more numbers, then .htm.
