I want to validate a 5 digit number.
Max of 5 digits
First 2 digits are within various ranges like (00-16) or (20-25) or
(32-39)
00789 - valid
11569 - valid
22698 - valid
32567 - valid
17895 - not valid
41578 - not valid
Is there a Regex Guru that can help with a regex expression that would work for this scenario?
I don't know anything about regular expressions. This a small part of a bigger solution that has legacy code using regular expression strings as data validation. A number comes in as a parameter. A lookup is done to get a regex validation string. The number and the regex string is passed to a validator where a regex.IsMatch is performed.
My question is can the above validation senario be written in a regex expression, if so what would that look like? I could then add the expression to the existing library of regex expressions in my app.
Why regex? First you need a collection to store your ranges, for example:
Dim ranges = New List(Of Tuple(Of Int32, Int32))
ranges.Add(Tuple.Create(0, 16))
ranges.Add(Tuple.Create(20, 25))
ranges.Add(Tuple.Create(32, 39))
The check itself is pretty easy:
Dim firstTwo = text.TrimStart("0"c).Substring(0, 2)
Dim number As Int32
Dim isValid = Int32.TryParse(firstTwo, number) AndAlso
ranges.Any(Function(t) number >= t.Item1 AndAlso number <= t.Item2)

Which expression should I use to identify the number of hydrogen atoms in a chemical formula?
For example:
C40H51N11O19 - 51 hydrogens
C2HO - 1 hydrogen
CO2 - no hydrogens (empty)
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Cheers!
You can start using this regex :
H\d*
H -> match literaly the H caracter
d* -> match 0 to N time a digit
see exemple and try yourself other regex at :
https://regex101.com/r/vdvH8S/2
But regex wont convert for you the result, regex only do lookup.
You need to process your result saying :
H with a number : extract the number
only H : 1
no match : 0
A Regex Expression that will match H with follwowing digits would be:
/H(\d+)/g
The 'H' is a literal charecter match to the H in the given chemical
formula
() declares a capture group, so you cna then grab the captured group without the H in whatever programming language you are using
\d will match any digit along with the + modifier that matches 1 or more
There is no catch all scenarios here, you might be best using something other than a regex.

I need a regular expression for the elo credit card which should allow only first 6 digits are mentioned below. The total length will be 16 and all 16 should be numbers only. Alphabets are not allow.
Allowed prefixes:
401178, 401179, 431274, 438935, 451416, 457393, 457631, 457632,
504175, 627780, 636297, 636368, 655000, 655001, 651652, 651653,
651654, 650485, 650486, 650487, 650488, 506699 to 506778 and 509000
to 509999
Use an alternation, with a bit of extra work to cover the two numerical ranges you have.
^(?:401178|401179|431274|438935|451416|457393|457631|457632|504175|627780|636297|636368|
655000|655001|651652|651653|651654|650485|650486|650487|650488|506699|5067[0-6][0-9]|
50677[0-8]|509\d{3})\d{10}$
Here is how we handle the two ranges:
506699 to 506778
506699| matches 506699
5067[0-6][0-9]| matches 506700 through and including 506769
50677[0-8] matches 506770 through and including 506778
509000 to 509999
509\d{3} matches 509000 through and including 509999
i.e. 509 followed by any 3 digits
Demo here:
Regex101
You can try this:
^(?:40117[8-9]|431274|438935|451416|457393|45763[1-2]|504175
|627780|636297|636368|65500[0-1]|65165[2-4]|65048[5-8]|506699
|5067[0-6]\d|50677[0-8]|509\d{3})\d{10}$
Demo
Simple Explanation
^ Start of the line
( start of group
?: will not store it in the group
40117[8-9] means 40117 followed by anything between 8 to 9 ( same
applies for similars)
| means OR
5067[0-6]\d means 5067 + a digit between 0 to 6 + a single digit
(any)
\d{10} means it will see if the next 10 characters are digits (after previous valid 6 digits)
$ end of the line
Basically, you need alternation with some range operators to shorten the regex.
The most tricky part is to define the range 506699 to 506778, which can be represented as 506699|5067[06]\d|50677[0-8].
(?x)^(?:
40117[89]|431274|438935|451416|457393|457631|457632|504175
|627780|636297|636368|65500[01]|65165[234]|65048[5-8]
|506699|5067[06]\d|50677[0-8]
|509\d{3}
)\d{10}$
Demo: https://regex101.com/r/BbnHeQ/2
NB: the (?x) is used to allow for whitespace characters in the regex, which simplifies reading for log expressions.

Pulling some trading data and having issues using regex to separate tickers and percentage of holding
Inputs
"94324.13%"
"007007.13%"
"0354202.91%"
Desired Output
"9432|4.13%" (ticker is 4 numbers)
"00700|7.13%" (ticker is 5 numbers)
"035420|2.91%" (ticker is 6 numbers)
Main issue is that the number of digits the ticker is may vary anywhere from 4-6 digits.
With the given information it is not possible to have a 100% accurate split of the two parts. For instance:
123410.05%
... could split in either of the following two:
1234|10.05%
12341|0.05%
And if percentages might not have a zero before the decimal point, then this would also be a possible split:
123410|.05%
The following regex replace will assume the percentage has one digit before the decimal point, and possibly a minus sign:
Find:
/^(\d{4,6})(\-?\d.*)$/gm
Replace:
\1|\2
See it on regex101.com.
I'd like to try this regex
(\d{4,6})(\d+\.\d{1,2}%)
Here is full demo:
Python:
data = "007007.13%"
rx = re.compile(r"(\d{4,6})(\d+\.\d{1,2}%)")
formated_text = rx.sub(r'\1|\2', data)
print formated_text
#it will print
00700|7.13%
You can look demo in python here
Javascript:
var re = /(\d{4,6})(\d+\.\d{1,2}%)/g;
var str = '"007007.13%"';
var subst = '$1|$2';
var result = str.replace(re, subs);

I want to search a value which comes inside a range x and y. I want a generic PERL regular expression because the x and y are dynamic.
Please help
This is an excessively bad idea. Not impossible, but hard to write as a general solution.
Let's write a regular expression that matches all numbers between 2 and 123. We have to look at each possible number of digits separately.
1 digit: [2-9] – 2 or larger
2 digits: [1-9][0-9] – any two-digit number
3 digits: [1](?:[0-1][0-9]|[2][0-3]) – either any 3-digit number up to 119, or 12x where 0 <= x <= 3.
Together: /\A(?:[2-9]|[1-9][0-9]|[1](?:[0-1][0-9]|[2][0-3]))\z/
Is this readable or maintainable? Certainly not.
You could use embedded code: /\A([0-9]+)(?(?{ not($x <= $^N && $^N <= $y) })(*F))\z/, but that's rather silly as well.
The best solution is to use code for what should be done with code. Regexes are simply not an appropriate tool here.
my ($num) = $string =~ /\A([0-9]+)\z/ or die "no number in \$string";
if (not($x <= $num and $num <= $y)) {
die "Number $num out of range [$x .. $y]";
}

I need a regular expression that accepts alphabets and numbers in a text field . If user enters only alphabets or if user enters only numbers then it is not accepted. How can i do this.?
You could use the regex like below:
/^(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])[\da-z]+$/i
Javascript example:
var regex = /^(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])[\da-z]+$/i;
console.log(regex.test('aaa')); // false
console.log(regex.test('111')); // false
console.log(regex.test('aaa111')); // true
console.log(regex.test('111aaa')); // true
I think someone will write a better regex then this one, but it works:
^([a-zA-Z]+\d+[a-zA-Z\d]*)|(\d+[a-zA-Z]+[a-zA-Z\d]*)$
(\d+[A-Za-z]+)|([A-Za-z]+\d+) should work for you.
"\d" represents a digit which can be out of [0-9].
Works perfectly in Java. You can check specifically for any other language or editor.
Pass-
123aaa
aaa123
Rejects-
123
aaa
(?i)(?=[a-z0-9]*[0-9])(?=[a-z0-9]*[a-z])[a-z0-9]*
Will match a string only if it has at least one number and one letter.
Matches:
abc1
123a
Does not match:
abc
123
