Cant contain variable in regex

[robertkwild]

hi all,

im going to add to my “np” variable cant contain there username ie “un”

ive tried Regexp(‘form.un.data’, message=‘cant contain your name’)

just as a test and it didnt work

can regex do variables even?

un = StringField('Username', [InputRequired(message='please enter your Username')])
    op = PasswordField('Current Password', [InputRequired(message='please enter your current password')])
    np = PasswordField('New Password', [InputRequired(message='please enter your new password'), EqualTo('cnp', message='must match confirm new password'), Length(min=12), Regexp('.*[a-z]', message='must contain one lower case'), Regexp('.*[A-Z]', message='must contain one upper case'), Regexp('.*[0-9]', message='must contain one number'), Regexp('.*[\¬\!\"\£\$\%\^\&\*\(\)\_\+\`\-\=\{\}\:\@\~\<\>\?\[\]\;\'\#\,\.\/\\\|]', message='must contain one special character')])
    cnp = PasswordField('Confirm New Password')

thanks,
rob

You would not put it in quotes. In quotes, it is the str 'form.un.data'

You would not put it in quotes. In quotes, it is the str 'form.un.data'

Regexp(form.un.data, message='cant contain your name')])

NameError: name 'form' is not defined. Did you mean: 'format'?
