But that made me question why I couldn't just put the "/" inside of
the bracket as well. Like why did that have to be escaped if the
period didn't. (I guess it's because in that syntax, the forward
slash has closure properties.)
Oh well it's working now, and I escaped the . as well (\.).
Thank yo

It actually depends on where the "." is in the Regexp. In your case it
is inside a Character Class "[]". So it is matching the "." character
explicitly. Since \w is shorthand for the [a-zA-Z] character class. It
is parsed as a character class instead of an escaped "w" character. So
you could actual
Yes, that did it. Thank you.
No idea how I try everything and overlook the simplest solution, duh.
And, Thank you to everyone else that weighed in as well, definitely
some other options to look into.
Side note: Anybody know why the period doesn't have to be escaped?
Like just "." allows the dot
Use Ruby's other regexp syntax:
%r{pattern}
To continue your example below:
validates_format_of :url, :with => %r{^[-\w_./]+$}

Another way would be to use %r, that way you can avoid the leaning
toothpick syndrome alltogether;
/^http:\/\/myhostname\.com\/foo$/i
would become
%r{http://myhostname\.com/foo}i
But before you start piecing your own regexp together have
Have you tried escaping them "\/"?
