Why the regular expression is not working properly
I have a validation for first name and while I'm running the "Start*" it will not pass through the code while I pass the "Start$" then it will pass the string. below is the program:-
package main
import (
"fmt"
"regexp"
)
func main()
FirstName := "Star*"
var validName = regexp.MustCompile("^[\pL0-9-_&$.,’'x60()!/ ]*$")
if !validName.MatchString(FirstName)
fmt.Println("--------------", FirstName)
else
fmt.Println(FirstName)
FirstName2 := "Star$"
if !validName.MatchString(FirstName2)
fmt.Println("--------------", FirstName2)
else
fmt.Println(FirstName2)

Delete the use $
inside of the^[\pL0-9-_&$.,’'x60()!/ ]*$
so it would be ^[\pL0-9-_&.,’'x60()!/ ]*$
.

$ is a normal character inside thebraces of a character class, so that's not it
