>          Components: Standard Rules

> The documentation page [1] has an example rule containing:
> {noformat}
> <regex>\d</regex>
> <regexMessage>You must have a digit in your baseDir!</regexMessage>
> {noformat}
> This is very misleading, as \d only matches a single digit.
> The example should be:
> {noformat}
> <regex>.*\d.*</regex>
> <regexMessage>You must have a digit in your baseDir!</regexMessage>
> {noformat}
> or possibly:
> {noformat}
> <regex>\d</regex>
> <regexMessage>Your baseDir must consist of a single digit only!</regexMessage>
> {noformat}
> The documentation should state that the regex is applied to the entire value of the property. 
> That is, it uses regex "match" rather than regex "contains", effectively the regex string is enclosed in "^" and "$" before use.
