Is it possible to use regex pattern as a input parameter in a POST method?
Can we use regex pattern as an input value of a parameter in POST method?

- I don't fully understand. What are you trying to achieve? Usually you use regex for assertions. I don't get how you would be able to use it as input.
Hi joanna
I've never tried it myself but just an additional comment to Lucian's.
If you consider the syntax you use in a regex pattern - specifically the reserved chars in a regex pattern that can ALSO occur in an input parm - e.g. curly braces, normal bracket characters and $ character - unless you have a way to escape these (and I don't mean html encoding sort of escape - cos I've tried this previously and that doesn't work for input parms) then I don't see how you would achieve this.
There's probably further implications that I haven't considered - but thats the big one that jumps out at me
Sorry I couldn't be of more help,

it's possible. But not sure what your requirement is.
if you wanna input parameter with code in payload of POST, then you would use like below
// assume that a value is true or false according to your input // assume 'a123' is your dynamical input below // below value will be true ${=java.util.regex.Pattern.matches('(a|b)[0-9]+','a123')}Hopefully it is an example for you to figure out what you required.
