Gapfill with Short Answer

Gapfill with Short Answer

I am trying to write a question in a Quiz that uses the Gapfill pluggin with short answer (regex) as a list with word boundries. The format looks like this below.

Please list the 3 components necessary to perform this operation?

1) [ \banswer\b.*\b1\b | \banswer\b.*\b2\b |\banswer\b.*\b3\b]

2) [ \banswer\b.*\b1\b | \banswer\b.*\b2\b |\banswer\b.*\b3\b]

3) [ \banswer\b.*\b1\b | \banswer\b.*\b2\b |\banswer\b.*\b3\b]


So when I grade this if the first field contains a correct answer it marks it correct, but none of the other fields grade correctly. So my questions are is it possible to accomplish what I am trying? and am I using this formatting correctly?

Thanks

Mike
