Question

Here my problem:

@Assert\Regex(
*     pattern="/^[A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9\"]*$/",
*     groups={"creation", "creation_logged"}
* )

I’m using the regex validator of Symfony 2, I want to allow the quote characters in my regex, but unfortunately the pattern close at this quote, I have a beautiful error. I tried to add an antislash before it, but it doesn’t work too !

I’m not the only guy to have this problem: http://groups.google.com/group/symfony2/browse_thread/thread/d0ade380e4f5a64e but no answer too :s

Is there a way to add the quote characters in the pattern ?

Answer 1

Use the character code instead:

* @Assert\Regex(
*     pattern="/^[A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9\x22]*$/",
*     groups={"creation", "creation_logged"}
* )
