Hi
I used a call to this input like that :

<txp:com_connect_text class="form-control" name="nom" label="nom" placeholder="Nom du 1er Responsable " required break="" pattern="^[ A-Za-z0-9_@./,#&+-]$"/>

The browswer dont comlained about the pattern but when submitted i got errors from the plugin :

Tag error: <txp:com_connect_text class="form-control" name="raison" label="raison" placeholder="Raison Sociale " required break="" pattern="[ A-Za-z0-9_@./,#&+-]"/> -> Warning: preg_match(): Unknown modifier ',' while parsing form inscription on page default

I tested the pattern on this live preg_match : https://www.phpliveregex.com/#tab-preg-match and there is no complain.

Hi

I changed the pattern to this :

^[ A-Za-z0-9_@.,#&+-]*$

And it worked, but i dont know why it compained about / maybe need to escape it ?

Ok i resolved it myself sorry to bother.

Usually, you specify a pattern with delimiters, which is probably why it worked when you added the dollar and caret. It might have thought the slash was a delimiter and thrown an error. So yeah usually you need to escape such things.
