Re^3: Regex in if statement

[2teez]

Hi finfan,

..Doesn't seem to work. #MO and # MO do not match. Tried the regex tester at http://www.internetofficer.com/seo-tool/regex-tester/ and it says "no match"..

I know the code posted by toolic worked, I wanted to find out why it wasn't working on the website you mentioned. Tried it out and it worked with the following result:

Regular Expression Test Results

Tested pattern: ^#\s*[a-z]+
Applied options:
the comparison was case-insensitive
 
String 1: #MO
Result : true
 
String 2: # MO
Result : true
 
String 3: #mo
Result : true
 
String 4: # mo
Result : true
 
String 5: # 555
Result : false

May be the question, one should be asking is: How are you doing these regexp?
