I went to http://regexlib.com/RETester.aspx
And I typed the expression "foo$" to test against
"nec.com.foo" SUCCESS!

Now I try this and it will not work in my asp.net!
I just want to be able to search for strings. Preferably
that aren't attached to the end of the expression. There
are NO spaces at the end as I've checked. I basically
really want "nec\.com\.au" case-insensitive matching.

If somebody could test this for me and tell me if it works for them I'd
appreciate something that works!

thanks,

GP

The RegularExpressionValidator ignores assumes ^ and $. So your expression
is the same as ^foo$$, which is only going to match 'foo'.

To make it match anything ending with foo, you probably need something like
.*foo which will turn into ^.*foo$.
