I have the following regex pattern for testing a url and it works fine with all online regex testers including b4a's original regex tester(https://b4x.com:51041/regex_ws/index.html) but not in code!!
Sub Validate(Url As String)As String
Dim Pattern As String=$"^(https:\/\/t\.me\/|https:\/\/telegram\.me\/)[a-z0-9_]{3,15}[a-z0-9]$"$
Dim matcher1 As Matcher
matcher1 = Regex.Matcher(Url,Pattern)
Return matcher1.Find
End Sub
And my Url is
Https:// telegram . me (+ something like 'myChannel' with no spaces ofcurse,its just stacks's editor that won't allow tg link so if u wanted to check remove the spaces)
always returns false at all forms
Option 1
Use
matcher1 = Regex.Matcher(Url,Pattern,RegexOptions.IgnoreCase)
Option 2
Use
Dim Pattern As String=$"^(https:\/\/t\.me\/|https:\/\/telegram\.me\/)[a-zA-Z0-9_]{3,15}[a-zA-Z0-9]$"$
Instead of
Dim Pattern As String=$"^(https:\/\/t\.me\/|https:\/\/telegram\.me\/)[a-z0-9_]{3,15}[a-z0-9]$"$
I hope both solutions are self explanatory!
EDIT
After OP accepted the answer, just a little bit of explanation. The LineBegin ^
and LineEnd $
identifiers are recognised only in MULTILINE
mode otherwise they are ignored.
