titleAdditional options

Choose from one of the following options (multi-choice is possible):additional options to further refine how to evaluate the value against the regular expression. 

OptionDescription

Case insensitive

Case insensitive matching is done in a manner consistent with the Unicode Standard.

The evaluation will ignore the case of the input value

Multiline

Expressions

Characters ^ and $ match just after or just before, respectively, a line terminator or the end of the input sequence. By default, these

expressions

characters only match at the beginning and the end of the entire input sequence.

Dot all

Expression

"." matches any character, including a line terminator. By default, this

expression

character does not match line terminators.

Literal

Input string is treated as a sequence of literal characters.

Meta-characters

Metacharacters or escape sequences in the input sequence will be given no special meaning. Case insensitive mode retains its impact on matching when used in conjunction with this mode.

Negate condition

When this option is checked, validation

The condition will be

satisfied

met if the provided regular expression

is NOT MATCHED by the selected field or entered parsed text

does not match.
