Regex Format Bug?

[MiamiJack]

Hello All,

I just want to confirm that I'm using the regex correctly, because at times neither of the regex expressions I was using was being able to be tested from within the GUI.

As an example I'm currently using this regex

(^|^[^:]+:\/\/|[^\.]+\.)domain\.com

But when I go to test it in PMG, it's not working.

If I go to regex101.com and test it, it works like a charm.

Now this may be a new issue within the gui, but a previous regex shared with me here on the forum was

(\W|^)[\w.+\-]{0,50}@[\w.+\-]{0,50}domain\.com(\W|$)

And it also isn't working.

Any direction appreciated.

FYI, I added both of the regex under chrome, and I can't test, then I tried in Edge with the same result, do we maybe have a bug in the GUI?

Hi,

there is a patch which fixes the regex tester, maybe this already address your problem.
https://lists.proxmox.com/pipermail/pmg-devel/2020-November/001367.html

You can also open the developer tools of the browser and post anything that's interesting showing up in the console or in the network recorder.

(^|^[^:]+:\/\/|[^\.]+\.)domain\.com

What are you trying to match with this regex?

* (^|^[^:]+.. - roughly means - beginning of the string, or beginning of the string followed by arbitrary characters which are not ':'
the part with :\/\/ looks like you're trying to match for an URI-scheme (e.g. http://) - which seems odd (unless your mails have headers where someone encodes links inside)

if you want to match addresses coming from (a subdomain of) domain.com - try:
'.+@.*domain\.com'

@fluxX04
Thanks, I thought something was broken.
I'll wait for the patch since I'm not familiar with the PMG code and such to make those changes.

Thanks for the reply.
The 2nd regex was provided to me by someone on the forum.
The first was a more simplified one that worked for either the domain alone, the domain with a sub domain, or even a sub.sub domain since these spammers are doing all of the above.

So one question is, should my regex work in regex101.com ? and if it does, does that work within PMG or am I using the wrong type of regex ( maybe extended type of thing)?

I can't get yours to match either domain.com or www.domain.com in regex101.com, but my first one does work.
My 1st one was working within PMG and tested, but of course we have the temp issue with the regex tester.
