\\s*[\\-]?[\\d]{1,3}\\s+[\\-]?[\\d]{1,3}\\s+[\\-]?[\\d]{1,3}\\s+[\\-]?[\\d]{1,3}\\s*
I have this regex for taking in 4 coordinates which are whole numbers (positive or negative). Can you please suggest any bugs in this regex?

If it's a Java regex, then it's correct for matching a string that contains four integer numbers between -999 and 999, separated by whitespace. It's very ugly, though, and could be simplified a lot:
\\s*(?:-?\\d{1,3}\\s+){3}-?\\d{1,3}\\s*
If it's not Java, then you only need one backslash at a time (but you might need other syntax, depending on your language).

How would you construct a regex matching a password that must consist of 6 to 16 characters and contain at least one number or special character?
You need to define what constitutes special characters for you.
Something like this regex should work:
(?=^.*?[\d#;:'"()`~#!%$&=-])^.{6,16}$

I want to validate a text box (with max length 2) to contain only these 3 set of values.
(i) 00-99
(ii) Q
(iii) DQ
Invalid values are 1Q, 2D, QD, QQ, DD,etc etc
Alright you can use the following it will check for what you asked for its very simple and primitive regix but will work:
\d{2}|DQ|Q
If you want to better understand regular expressions the following might help:

As a tool to test your regix.
Hope that helps

Regex to determine if string contains all the vowels? [closed]

For example the desired Regex would successfully match "areriroru" but wouldn't match "sadwdij" which contains just two of the vowels.
In C#, you can use lookahead assertions for each vowel before matching the string with .*:
(?=.*a)(?=.*e)(?=.*i)(?=.*o)(?=.*u).*
If you don't care about the case of your vowels, you could use this:
(?=.*[Aa])(?=.*[Ee])(?=.*[Ii])(?=.*[Oo])(?=.*[Uu]).*
One possibility is enumerating all the permutations of the vowels. Here are the first 24 of 120 total (all the ones where a is the first vowel). Note that this forms one long expression, but I split it into lines here for clarity.
a.*e.*i.*o.*u
|a.*e.*i.*u.*o
|a.*e.*o.*i.*u
|a.*e.*o.*u.*i
|a.*e.*u.*i.*o
|a.*e.*u.*o.*i
|a.*i.*e.*o.*u
|a.*i.*e.*u.*o
|a.*i.*o.*e.*u
|a.*i.*o.*u.*e
|a.*i.*u.*e.*o
|a.*i.*u.*o.*e
|a.*o.*e.*i.*u
|a.*o.*e.*u.*i
|a.*o.*i.*e.*u
|a.*o.*i.*u.*e
|a.*o.*u.*e.*i
|a.*o.*u.*i.*e
|a.*u.*e.*i.*o
|a.*u.*e.*o.*i
|a.*u.*i.*e.*o
|a.*u.*i.*o.*e
|a.*u.*o.*e.*i
|a.*u.*o.*i.*e

I need a regular expression for CLIA number. CLIA number is combination alpbh numeric without any spaces. Now i am using this expression /^[A-Za-z0-9]{10}$/ am i using correct expression?
you can use this....
/^[a-Z]{4}[0-9]{6}$/
^ this is used to beginning of the line.
$ end of the line.
a-Z this will match the both cases.
this case will match the four alpha character and six numbers. so totally 10 alphanumbers.
Based on your example, it sounds like you want the first four characters to be "CLia" followed by 6 digits? If so, use /^CLia\d{6}$/. If not, be more specific.
If your language support POSIX classes :
/^[[:alnum:]]{10}$/
