JSLint reports “Insecure ^” for my regex — what does that mean?

Question

I\'m trying to get my Javascript code 100% JSLint clean.

I\'ve got a regular expression:

 linkRgx = /https?:\\/\\/[^\\s;|\\\\*\'\"!,()<>]+/g;
<

You should use:

/*jslint regexp: true*/
linkRgx = /https?:\/\/[^\s;|\\*'"!,()<>]+/g;
/*jslint regexp: false*/
