&lt;p&gt;What I don’t get is the regular expression validation, can you define if “is correct” basically if you put a bunch of characters in a regular expression that is valid? And how complex you want the regular expression yo validate but here I found an interesting post like “regex to validate regex”. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The post:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hope this helps &lt;/p&gt;
