Regex List

A regex list is a list of regular expressions.

The regex flavor used is Golang.

Syntax​

<regex>,<regex>,<regex>,<regex>

or

<regex>, <regex>, <regex>, <regex>

Regex Evaluation​

The regular expressions do have to match the whole string. For example if you want to match my-namespace and namespace1 you can't just do a regex like namespace which then looks for the part namespace in the string. What you would have to do is use the regex .*namespace.* to do so.

You can think of this like always having a start of string (^) and an end of string ($) anchor around your expression. This means that the example expression would look like ^.*namespace.*$.

If you want you can also put the start of string and end of string anchors around your expression yourself. This doesn't change how the expression is evaluated.

Spaces at Ends of Expression​

You can't just have spaces at the start and end of your expression, since they will get trimmed.

If you still need to do so I would suggest to wrap your expression in a start of string (^) and end of string ($) anchor. This stops the spaces from getting trimmed.
