Hello,

I'm facing some false positive issue with rule id 942200 (Detects MySQL comment-/space-obfuscated injections and backtick termination).
If the value is a valid postal address like "999, rue d'Arlon", the regular expression is matched.

I isolated the RegExp part that cause the detection:

How to reproduce the misbehavior

curl -X POST -H "X-Format-Output: txt-matched-rules" -H "x-crs-paranoia-level: 2" https://sandbox.coreruleset.org/ -d "address=999, rue d'Arlon"
