Why does the regex work not as expected?

Question

There is a string which can have one or several string ranges. These are correct strings:

\"\"
\"asd-asd\"
\"asd-asd;asd-asd\"
\"asd-asd;asd-asd;\"
\"asd-asd;asd         


        

Answer 1

It matches because of ;? which makes the ; optional. You are trying to test something with context, regex is not the easiest tool to do this.
