KDE 3.1 has an awesome regular expression GUI editor, good for people just learning how to create them. One thing to watch out for: In the validator, Perl regular expressions are used. Normally, when you make a Perl regular expressions you have to use a delimiter, which is typically '/' However, in the validator definition file, you can exclude the delimiter as the validator automatically adds it for you. However, this means that you must escape and instance of '/' in your regular expression. I have filed a bug report about this in bugzilla because the validator should automatically escape any delimiter used in the definition file so that this "ghost" delimiter does not have to be accounted for. In short, I mean The following would be accepted: <var-name>mask</var-name> <var-value>^http://[^ ]*$</var-value> instead of the current syntax <var-name>mask</var-name> <var-value>^http:\/\/[^ ]*$</var-value> Since behind the scenes the regexp becomes /^http:\/\/[^ ]*$/ I rest my case.
