Hello,

I wrote a very simple regex as : 

\s*0\s*

(the purpose wat catching any spaces before or after the number zero)

unfortunately the regex doesn't work. The only phrase it catches is the regex it self.
be happy for any suggestion how to fix this.

thank you in advance,
niv.

Hi Niv,

You could also use the octal value \040 to match the space character. Or the hexadecimal value \x20
I also used the \b for word boundaries.

Hello Ralf,
Thank you very much for your answer.
It seems like any regular expression I'm writing (except the regex *) is not being recognized by the moodle. Have no Idea why is that. Any suggestion or example for regex that works for any of you will be great.
Thank you in advanced for you all.
Niv.
