How do i post the RegExpression value in the postman request body

Question

{
    "Regex": "^(Common)[_]\d+$|^(MP)[_][0-9a-f]{24}|.*((google)|(Common)|(gmail))+\.(com)$"
}

I am facing the above issue which I mentioned in the screenshot, in postman while I am posting the payload which I provided with RegEx value. It is giving me the Error. Any suggestions guys. Please help out with this issue. Thank you

Do not post your code, error messages, or other pertinent debugging info as images - instead, paste it as text in the body of your question. Not only is it much easier and can be accomplished in less steps, but it helps when community members can copy and paste your code into another IDE to test it before providing an answer.

Make it simple by adding it in pre-request

const regex = JSON.stringify("^(Common)[_]\d+$|^(MP)[_][0-9a-f]{24}|.*((google)|(Common)|(gmail))+\.(com)$")

pm.variable.set("regex",regex)

Now call this in body as

   {
    "Regex": "{{regex}}"
   }

The requirement was different actually Regex value will be always not the same it will be different for different users so it will not going to work..we can not use this env variable.. – Satish Ameda Oct 07 '21 at 03:50
