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


Escape the period before htm.
