Regex problem with /

[eduardmartinez]

Hi. First at all thanks for this great package. It has saved my life.

Going right to the point, I was trying to use 'pattern' option to allow slashes but it throws an error and cuts the expression. For example:

<input type="text" id="mytext" name="mytext" validation="pattern=/^[0-9\s.\/()-+]+$/:alt=Error in expression" />

The error says:

Invalid regular expression: /^[0-9\s.\/: \ at end of pattern

I'm using backslash to escape slash into the expression. But the slash inside is cutting the expression and doesn't recognize the escaping.

Is there anyway to fix this, please? or In which way could I extend the service or something in order to add a new regular expression but without passing it as string?

Sorry for my bad english. Thanks in advance.

Oh ok, it seems that my code is wrong and is pulling the code up to the first '/', I'll have to fix that.

Ok I fixed it, my own code was non-greedy and it was grabbing until it found the first '/' and that was the problem, so I just had to make it greedy and now it looks all fine. I only tried it via https://regex101.com/ and it seems fine now, see the print screen below.

If you still have an issue then let me know and I will re-open it, if need be...
Thanks for your feedback, enjoy my library and let everyone know about it :)

Before the fix, non-greedy, it stops at first '/' found

After the fix, greedy, it stops at last '/' found

Well, I already tested it and it seems to work like a charm. Thanks a lot! If anything goes wrong, I'll tell you. By the way, I noticed there are some words into Spanish language file (es.json) that are wrong or need some diacritical marks. If you want, I could help you with that and make you a pull request. ;)

Oh yes go ahead and make a new pull request for the wrong Spanish words. Thanks for the feedback
