Regex Rule cannot handle all Expressions

[PascaleBeier]

Because of how this library handles regex (as a string, that is), not all regular expressions work.

Keep in mind that you leave out the Quanitifiers "/" "/g" etc and check your own regexes for JavaScript at regex101.

Seems like it has many problems with complex regex. I'm trying to validate with these regex:

For a simple name (example: Oscar):
/^[ÁÉÍÓÚÑA-Z][a-záéíóúñ]+(\s+[ÁÉÍÓÚÑA-Z]?[a-záéíóúñ]+)*$/g

For a password (example: Abc12#45)
/^(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[!@#$%^&*])[0-9a-zA-Z!@#$%^&*]{8,}$/g

And is not working! :(

Your first regex works:

Keep in mind you are using JavaScript. Please validate your Regex! :) A good tool is regex101.

I really needed the quantifiers, and the second one only works without the quotes, but if the library uses strings there's nothing to do. Thanks for reply.
