The "/" pattern begin and end pattern markers are implementation
dependent. They basically say "this string is a regex pattern". My
experience is that in various languages you usually need them,
especially where those languages offer a regex match operator.
It gets a little confusing with 4D because if you use QFree you don't
specify them , but in 4D you do.

Nice, that worked.. did I miss something in
understanding regex, or something in the Active4D
manual? The regex pattern itself (for phone numbers) I
got off a Google search hit.

Hi Mehboob,
Try putting forward slashes around your pattern like
this:
$inPattern:="/^([(]?\d{3}[-)]\d{3}-\d{4})*$/"
That clears it up on this end!

Could someone point out what I'm doing wrong here?
// phone regex: ^([(]?\d{3}[-)]\d{3}-\d{4})*$
$inPattern:="^([(]?\d{3}[-)]\d{3}-\d{4})*$"
$inSubject:=[process]line3
if(regex match($inPattern; $inSubject))
writebold($inSubject)+"<BR>"
else
//
end if
error message from Active4D
if(regex match($inPattern; $inSubject))
Missing delimiter in search pattern.
