Testing regex to match an integer. Administration > General > Regular expressions > New regular expression. Using test string "1" without the quotes and expression type "Character string included"

• ^[[:digit:]]+$ did not match
• [[:digit:]]+ did not match
• \d+ did not match
• \d did not match
• .* did not match
• 1 matched
• ^1$ did not match

Tested same at https://regex101.com/ using flavour PCRE(PHP) and function Match. All matched

Versions:

• Zabbix: zabbix-server-mysql Version: 1:4.4.10-1+buster from http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/4.4/debian
• OS: Debian Buster amd64 with daily updates

Debian package libpcre3 was installed. Re-installed it. Same.

If I have not misunderstood something relevant, how to investigate and hopefully fix?

To make it even more frustrating -- if I understand this thread correctly -- cyber did answer > I found the answer satisfactory > cyber's answer was removed > I forgot

"Character string not included" and everything works...

Thanks Cyber, that was what I was doing wrong
