\is escaped, which appears to be an error given what it’s trying to do….actually, you’ve taken that out of context. that’s probably in a string. if it’s in a string, then it’s escaping the slash, and then that slash is escaping the dot.
the
~=means “ends with” and the(?i)switches it into case-insensitive mode.errr… now that i think about it, that actually looks like a hybrid between a CSS selector (probably used in jquery) and a regex (being familiar with both syntaxes, I thought nothing of it!). The
~=doesn’t do anything in a regex (they’re literal chars) the[and]represent a character set though.So…I don’t know what the result of this is. I suspect someone got confused and tried mixing the two.
