While I am guessing you've already solved your problem (because it was
related to your database schema) I'll still answer your regular
expression questions:
The number returned is the position of the string where your regular
expression matches, 0 is the start of the string.
nil means no matches were found.
In the case of your regular expression you'd only ever get 0 or nil
because your regular expression requires the start of the string to match.

does 0 mean pass? And is then the validated_with not accepting 0 as a
pass?
