regular expression for string in c
- by darkie15
Hi All,
I am working writing a regular expression used to validate string in C. Here is to what I have gone so far
'^"[A-Za-z0-9]*[\t\n]*"$'
for rules
- A string should begin with double quotes
- May not contain a newline character
However, I am not able to capture the rule for allowing '\' or '"' in a string if preceded with '\'. Here is what I tried:
'^"[A-Za-z0-9]*[\t\n]*[\\\|\\"]?"$'
But this doesn't seem to work. What might be wrong with the regular expression here?
Regards,
