Im creating a plugin that requires a mycode. I have the plugin currently creating the custom mycode and all fields are working correctly, apart from 1.

Im having problems with the "Regular Expression" field. When i activate the plugin its stripping the forward slashes (which is to be expected), resulting in the this:

[img](.*?)[/img]

Rather than getting this:

\[img\](.*?)\[/img\]

How can i stop it from stripping the forward slashes in this field?

Anyone any ideas on this?

You probably need to double escape your backslashes, if I'm understanding you correctly.

And please don't use that expression unless you want your plugin to be vulnerable to XSS attacks: http://mybbhacks.zingaburga.com/showthre...89#pid4089

Ive tried double escaping , still the same result

I think you'll need to post actual code or we won't know what you're doing.

Im just creating a "mycode" as part of a plugin, but when i activate the plugin its removing the backslashes (as expected) but im looking for a way around it. I have tried to double escape

$mycode = array(
	"title"           => "Test",
	"description"     => "Test",
	"regex"           => "\[Test\](.*?)\[/Test\]",
	"replacement"     => "",
	"active"           => "1",
	"parseorder"           => "0",
	);

No you haven't (which is why I asked you to post code). You just double escaped one of them.

	"regex"           => "\\[Test\\](.*?)\\[/Test\\]",

If you're putting that in a DB, you need to escape that again.

Yea thats what i did, i just left one of them in there by mistake when i posted the code here, i escaped them all in the plugin. But it didnt work for some reason.

Not sure if it helps, but I'm looking at a mycode plugin on my desktop and inside the coding goes like this (It's for an announcement):

function mycode_run ($message)
{
    $mycode = array(
    '#\[announce\](.*?)\[/announce]#si' => '<div style="border: 2px dashed rgb(204, 51, 68); margin: 2ex; padding: 2ex; color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 228, 233); align: center;"><div style="float: left; width: 2ex; font-size: 2em; color: red;"><strong>!!</strong></div><b style="text-decoration: underline;">Announcement</b><br/><div style="padding-left: 6ex;">\\1</div></div>',
    );

Ive no problem adding the replacement, its the regular expression im having problems with ,when i activate the plugin i get this:

[attachment=20334]

As you can see the backslashes are escaped. Even if i double escape the backslashes in the plugin i get the same result as in the image

can i see that plugin ?
