Why the regular expression is not working properly












-1















I have a validation for first name and while I'm running the "Start*" it will not pass through the code while I pass the "Start$" then it will pass the string. below is the program:-



package main

import (
"fmt"
"regexp"
)

func main() {
FirstName := "Star*"
var validName = regexp.MustCompile("^[\p{L}0-9-_&$.,’'x60()!/ ]*$")
if !validName.MatchString(FirstName) {
fmt.Println("--------------", FirstName)
} else {
fmt.Println(FirstName)
}
FirstName2 := "Star$"
if !validName.MatchString(FirstName2) {
fmt.Println("--------------", FirstName2)
} else {
fmt.Println(FirstName2)
}
}

          Delete the use $ inside of the
          ^[\p{L}0-9-_&$.,’'x60()!/ ]*$ so it would be ^[\p{L}0-9-_&.,’'x60()!/ ]*$.

            $ is a normal character inside the braces of a character class, so that's not it
