Validation regex including unicode characters was created by aquigar
Hi!:

I´m testing this simple regex to validate the content of a user response:
Code:
/^[A-Z0-9\s]+$/

It matches capital letters, numbers and whitespaces. It seems to be correct and works fine.

But assume I would like to include the unicode char "á".

I've tested the following regexes with no results:

Code:
/^[áA-Z0-9\s]+$/
 
/^[\x00E1A-Z0-9\s]+$/
 
/^[\x{00E1}A-Z0-9\s]+$/
 
/^[\u00E1A-Z0-9\s]+$/

0x00E1 is the hex code value for "á"

Can anybody help with this?

Thanks in advance
Code:

That appears to be a bug with the regexMatch() function. Please file a bug report.

This script placed in the question source shows a valid regular expression:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
 
  $(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){
    $('#question{QID} input:text').on('keyup', function(){
      console.log($(this).val().match(/^[a-zA-ZáÁ0-9\s]+$/));
    });
    });
</script>
Cheers,
Tony Partner

Here the JS function used : github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/70...ascript.js#L847-L858
