Hi Steph,
the
and[
chars are used by RegEx to define "bracket expression", which can cover multiple chars at once (e.g.]
or[a-zA-Z0-9]
).[ABab01]
If you need to specify the
and[
chars literally (aka. "as is"), within a regex pattern, without creating a "bracket expression", then you have to escape these chars by using a leading]
char as shown below...\
Input String:
items[0][varone] items[1][varone] items[1][vartwo]
RegEx Pattern:
items\[\d+\]\[\w+\] items\[\d+\]\[\w+\] items\[\d+\]\[\w+\]
Note: You may tweak your RegEx pattern further, with this lovely online RegEx tester as required.
Cheers, Kai
Hi Steph,
okay I see what you're trying to accomblish. Well, if you read the following guide...
... you'll notice that the ASM policy does not support RegEx syntax. Instead it supports only a rather simple
syntax.shell-style wildcard
Note: Please link the guide which states that you have to put a
in front of an/
to have it as an explicit character.*
Cheers, Kai

Many thanks for the suggestions, the problem was solved by using the "\", like this:
items\[?\]\[*\]
