We understand teachers keep getting issues while working with Google Forms. The most troublesome issue would be subjective questions such as sentence arrangement questions whereby students need to reconstruct the sentence from a group of given words.
The biggest issue for teachers is that students are required to fill in exactly the answer provided by the teacher stated in the Google Form answer. If any additional space, capital letter, or symbol is in the answer box, Google Forms will mark it as wrong.
Since that’s the case, we can only control either the input of the answer or the post-process of the answer. The second option is rather troublesome when the number of students is large. Hence, we’ll work out to control the input instead.
Regular Expression or also known as RegEx, is a pattern-matching validation that is used in Google Forms. The good thing about this is that you can restrict the submitter not to input any unwanted text, symbol, or spaces.
