Unknown modifier error with regular expression matching [#2606014]

When I try to match using regular expression using:

admin\/remaining-pairs\/\d*\/\d*\/\d*\/\d*done

I get this error:

preg_match(): Unknown modifier 'r' in rules_data_text_comparison() (line 423...

/admin\/remaining-pairs\/\d*\/\d*\/\d*\/\d*done/

I have tried with and with "/" as delimiters at the beginning and end and also with "/g" at the end.

The regex expression seems to work on validating sites I have used, including http://gskinner.com/RegExr/ which is linked to from the rules page.

What changes do I need to make for this to work in rules?

Thanks.

jsibley created an issue. See original summary.

So, this doesn't give an error and should be equivalent to the above, if I understand correctly:

/admin/remaining-pairs/[0-9]*/[0-9]*/[0-9]*/done/

However, it doesn't match the path below:

mysite/admin/remaining-pairs/5/6/24/done

Any ideas?

I can't get this to work in a Rules condition either.

Simplify your Rule, export it, post it here, and we'll try to make it work for you.
