XF 2.1 Invalid Regex

[Juste_me__]

Hello,

I am trying to use the following regex to validate LinkedIn profile url as a custom field. However, XF is responding with "please enter a valid regular expression"

/^(https:\/\/)?((www|\w\w)\.)?linkedin.com\/((in\/[^/]+\/?)|(pub\/[^\/]+\/((\w|\d)+\/?){3}))$/

Try without the /: ^(https:\/\/)?((www|\w\w)\.)?linkedin.com\/((in\/[^/]+\/?)|(pub\/[^\/]+\/((\w|\d)+\/?){3}))$

You can use this site to validate it: https://regex101.com/

I tried this initially but did not work. I tried the exact one above but did not work too.

Your regex is invalid - you have an unescaped delimiter.

This saves: ^(https:\/\/)?((www|\w\w)\.)?linkedin.com\/((in\/[^\/]+\/?)|(pub\/[^\/]+\/((\w|\d)+\/?){3}))$
