Hi there,
i'm wondering how to create a regex filter. I.e. if I want to filter by a simple regular expression like '.*\d$', and add it to a rule using type "regex", the following sieve rule is created:
[...]body :text :regex ".*\\d$")
So the backslash is escaped, and the meaning of the rule changed. I wanted to filter any text that ends with a digit, now I'm filtering anything that ends with backslash + 'd'.
Can someone help to create a real regex filter?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
/^.*[0-9]{1,}$/gmix
will filter
Lorem ipsum 012345
test here: https://regex101.com
in case backslash is needed:
/^.*\\[0-9]{1,}$/gmix
will filter
Lorem ipsum \012345
in some cases (string within a program) 4xbackslash \\\\ might be useful, see here:
