How to match a string containing a fullstop? #17

Description

@byteborg

I'd like to match identifiers in the form of ABC123.4567 and link them to URLs in the form of https://server/path/123.4567.

As patterns I tried

  • ABC[\d+\.\d+]
  • ABC(\d+\.\d+)
  • ABC[(\d+\.\d+)]

but the match triggers only up to the full stop. Entering ABC345.6789 for example does not trigger, while entering ABC234 does. ABC567. also doesn't.

A regex in the form of (\d+\.\d+) should match, so could it be that full stops are somehow magic, or am I missing the obvious?
