If I want to make sure a segment does not start with a specific range of characters, how can I use regular expressions to accomplish this? Here is an example.

{if segment_2 == "/$P[0-9]/"}

Statement

{/if}

In other words if segment_2 starts with P and any number 0 through 9, do statement.

I thought from reading other posts that a regular expression in EEmachine was surrounded by / and /. But for whatever reason it is not working. Or is it even possible to use regular expressions in EE? I have version 1.5.2, will upgrade to 1.6.2 after I finish some cleanup work.

Thanks

Hi, neolithic - ExpressionEngine conditionals do not support regular expressions. You’ll need PHP for that.  You can read the documentation on conditionals here.

Thank’s. Was hoping for a fast fix. Just have to do a little PHP programming then.
