| Goal | Find regular expressions where choice between alternatives has no brackets. Thus, instead of '(a|b|c)' there is 'a|b|c'. An example: '^a|b|c$' -permits in the string symbol "|" but '^(a|b|c)$' does not permit in the string symbol "|". |
|---|---|
| Type | Problem detection (Each row in the result could represent a flaw in the design) |
| Reliability | Low (Many false-positive results) |
| License | MIT (opens in new tab) |
| Fixing Suggestion | Change the regular expression and use the brackets. |
