How to write Regular expressions that work?

Asked by lrm

I tried to use +bannickre and +banmsge in development code, using:

+banmsgre 30 <.*\n.*\n.*> some reason
+bannickre 1440 <.+(?<!(\[DS[1234]\]|\[AK[12]\]))> some reason

As in the above example, I want to ban people writing multi-newline messages and force a certain username format. In my opinion and according to ADCH++ documentation, those regular expressions should work, but they don't. How can i use regular expressions in this functions properly? I also tried with Lua patterns, to no effect. Please tell me how can I use those functions...

ps: the latest vesrions have a different handeling regarding those re bans, you can now specify a action to take. just block, tmpban, ban

Can you help with this problem?
