How to pass a variable to a regular expression validator in a TextInput? QML

[A Former User]

Posted this in QML side of the forums since I thought that'd be more appropriate

So suppose we have a TextInput with a regular expression validator

TextInput {
    id: hexNumber
    validator: RegularExpressionValidator { regularExpression: /[0-9A-F]+/ }
}

https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qml-qtquick-regularexpressionvalidator.html

How might we pass a variable containing "[0-9A-F]+" to it instead of passing the value to it directly?

The following code (what I tried) doesn't work

property string exampleValidationString: "[0-9A-F]+"
var regExpVariable= new RegExp(exampleValidationString);
TextInput{
                /* User input validation */
                validator: RegularExpressionValidator  {
                    regularExpression: regExpVariable
                }
}

I also tried passing a property string to it and it didn't like that

Following should work. Check this.
```
property string exampleValidationString: "[0-9A-F]+";
property var regExpVariable : new RegExp(exampleValidationString)

    TextInput{
        anchors.fill: parent
        //validator:RegularExpressionValidator{ regularExpression:RegExp(exampleValidationString)}
        validator:RegularExpressionValidator{ regularExpression:regExpVariable}
    }
