can i give a string for in place of regExp in QML

[vinaygopal]

I tried doing something like this in QML and it wasnt allowed
Item{
property string reg_expression: "/[0-9]+/"
...
..
.
RegExpValidator {id:decimal_validator ; regExp: reg_expression}

is there a way to give regExp in regExpValidator a string?
because i want to send the regExp from the backend as a string to the QML side.

Is this possible?

Guess you can give the string to RegExp constructor

RegExpValidator {id:decimal_validator ; regExp: new RegExp(reg_expression)}

Edit: Another point, I think you don't need to add extra "/" character if you define your regex using string.
I think it should be either :

property string reg_expression: "[0-9]+"

or

property RegExp reg_expression: /[0-9]+/

Note also you can use "\\d+" or /\d/ instead of "[0-9]+" for your regex

Edit2: Correction of my stupid mistake of my first edit. regex for digit character is obviously \d and not \w
