==================

This is a generic question to Limesurvey, not pdfReport plugin.

I am working with the demo survey provided by the pdfReport (link:     ) and I am running into an expression script parsing error that I cannot explain.  Details:

1) The first question in the sample survey has an email form and an expression script that doesn't generate any errors in Lime survey until I either make any change and hit save or just hit save after the question is opened.

2) Here is how to replicate the issue:

a) Create a new blank survey.

b) Import the sample question:  

c) When you import it, as long as you don't hit save everything looks fine and Lime survey visually confirms that the expression script in the question is okay.  Screenshot:  

d) Then open up the question and just hit save.  Now Limesurvey believes it cannot parse the expression script.  Screenshot:  

3) I don't understand two things:

a) Why does this error happen?  Everything looks fine when I import the question and the survey (regex) even works great on the email field when testing the survey, but as soon as I edit the question and hit save that parsing error shows up.

b) What is the proper way to fix this issue?  In the past I created a very long expression that concatenated all of the problem characters into one long expression but that doesn't seem quite right given the above behaviour.  Any suggestions?

Thanks.

 

You have nested quotes and you used the HTML editor. And that's the problem.

If you do it like this (as you did) the HTML editor changes the single quotes into double quotes to Now you get the error.

So either you exchange the order of quotes to
or - and that is my advice - you use the source code editor
