AAM Web App Policy - invalidation rule regex problem

When I enter a regex in the "Client IP" field I get the message 

The field has invalid characters
if the regex contains certain characters like 
\
and 
^
.

That seems a bit odd since those characters are rather fundamental parts of regex.

Has anyone else encountered this?

    Hi Arie, I just gave it a try on v11.5.2 and the best possible "result" was kind of globbing (10.*). Tried several kind of regular expressions i.e. 10\.\[0-9\]\{1,3\}\.\[0-9\]\{1,3\}\.\[0-9]\{1,3\} or 10\.\[0-9\]+\.\[0-9\]+\.\[0-9\]+ but got always error messages. I would recommend to open a support case. Thanks, Stephan
