Escaping Regex to get Valid JSON

Question

In my schema, I want to recognize certain patterns to restrict the type of data that a user can enter. I use regex to restrict what a user can enter, but the regex get flag

Answer 1

Its just the slashes that are messing up the validation you could encode them using %5C which is the hex encoding of \ or what Mike W says you could double escape like \\ and then you could just decode them when you want to use them

Answer 2

The accepted answer doesn't work for me. %5C doesn't work well with a linter. Plus manually doing it is a job. How about a very long regex -

^(([^<>()[\\]\\.,;:\\s@\"]+(\\.[^<>()[\]\\.,;:\\s@\"]+)*)|(\".+\"))@((\\[[0-9]{1,3}\\.[0-9]{1,3}\\.[0-9]{1,3}\\.[0-9]{1,3}\\])|(([a-zA-Z\\-0-9]+\\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}))$
