I am using the following regex to validate decimal numbers with dot .
/^[0-9]*\.?[0-9]*$/
It works fine for all the cases except the case 12.
Working Example:
12
12.2
10.222
12.
I want to throw validation error when user enters (12.): at least a digit after decimal point needs to be entered (like 12.1).
You can use this regex:
/^\d+(\.\d+)?$/
It will match whole number: 12, 1222
If there is a decimal point, then there must be at least 1 digit before and after the decimal point: 1.1, 34.2
These cases are not allowed: .43, 23.
Simply add one or more quantificator:
^[0-9]+(\.[0-9]+)?$

I have used the below regex but it accept all values after decimal point. I want only whole numbers ( eg: 12) and half decimal point (eg 12.5)
Regex regex = new Regex("[^0-9.]+");
I want the below behavior.
For example
Valid numbers : 12, 12.5
Invalid numbers 12.1, 12.8
Try using this pattern:
\d+(?:\.5)?
This would match whole numbers, as well as numbers which half just a decimal component of 0.5. If you also want to allow for 0.0 decimal endings, then use:
\d+(?:\.[05])?
For your actual code, you may use:
Regex regex = new Regex("#\d+(?:\.5)?");
I'm trying to match numbers greater than 40. The good point is that all of them have 2 decimal places, so all of them are like: 3.25, 5.89, 999.75 and they don't use any leading zeros (except on the decimal part that always have 2 digits)...
At first I tried the following code but then I realized this wouldn't match numbers like 100, 1000... even if they are greater than 40.
[4-9][0-9]\.
I don't have to match the decimal part, so don't worry about matching that, just help me to find how to match numbers greater than 40 (up to 9999 would be fine).
Thanks for your help.
This should do the job:
([4-9][0-9]|\d{3,})\.
Check it here:
http://www.regexr.com/3a5v9
Don't use regular expressions for number comparison. If, for example, you're using Javascript:
var aNumber = parseFloat("50");
if (aNumber > 40) {
// yay!
}
If your regex flavour can use negative lookbehind to match the numbers from 41 to 9999 without decimal:
\b(?:[1-9][0-9]{2,3}|[5-9][0-9]|4[1-9])(?<!\.\d{1,2})\b
(40\.(?!0[^\d]|00)\d{1,2}|(((4[1-9](?!\d)|[5-9][0-9])(?![\d])|\d*[1-9]\d{2,})(\.\d{1,2})?))
This prevents false positives from leading 0s.
This worked for me.
It tries to match 40 followed by 1 or two decimals that are not 00.
It then tries to match 4 followed by 1-9, decimal optional.
If it can't match that it matches 5-9 followed by 0-9, decimal optional.
It then triese to match any digit, any number of times, followed by 1-9, followed by 1 or 2 digits, decimal optional.
If you want to require the decimal, just remove the last question mark.
This will do it:
([4-9][0-9]+|\d{3,})
This it will get all the numbers of two digits having the first one greater than 4 or any number with three digits.
As an example http://www.regexr.com/3a5v0
You can use brackets to indicate a minimum and, if desired, maximum number of characters to match. So,
([4-9][0-9]|[1-9][0-9]{2,})\.
matches 4-9 followed by one or more digits. Presumably there's a boundary of some sort at the beginning of this, but it sounds like you have that part worked out. This uses an OR to allow for two possible groups of first digits.
(Most of the other answer are perfect for me -- This is paranoia and a bad idea :)
for use with grep -Po or Perl we could use:
'\b(\d{3,}|[4-9]\d)\.\d\d'
but this would get 40.00 (not greater than 40)
'\b(\d{3,}|[5-9]\d|4[1-9])\.\d\d|\b40\.\d?[1-9]\d?'
Corresponding to:
DDD.DD
| [5-9]D.DD
| 4[1-9].DD
| 40.D[1-9]
| 40.[1-9]D
In flex(1) you have this code to parse strings and get numbers greater than 40:
pru.l:
%option noyywrap
%%
\+?(0*[4-9][0-9]|0*[1-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]*)(\.[0-9]*)? { printf("Greater than 40: %s\n", yytext); }
\-?[0-9]*(\.[0-9]*)? { printf("Lesser than 40: %s\n", yytext); }
\n |
. ;
%%
int main()
{ yylex(); }
Install flex and compile this file it with
make pru
Then run it as:
pru <filein >fileout
or just
pru
This code constructs a deterministic finite automaton from the regular expressions listed and prints the commands listed on the right when recognizes a value greater than 40. It allows a leading optional sign and leading zeros, and an optional fractional part composed of any number of digits. And it does this with only one asignment and one decision for each character read. You have access to the automaton state table generated by flex (it writes C code for you)
the regex that recognizes numbers greater than 40 (with decimals and leading sign and zeros) is:
\+?(0*[4-9][0-9]|0*[1-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]*)(\.[0-9]*)?
and can be abreviated as:
\+?(0*[4-9][0-9]|0*[1-9][0-9]{3,})(\.[0-9]*)?
explanation:
\+? matches an optional plus sign.
(...|...) two options:
0* optional arbitrary number of leadin zeros.
[4-9][0-9] the numbers 40 to 99
[1-9][0-9]{3,} the numbers 100 and up.
(.[0-9]*)? optional decimal point followed by an arbitrary number of digits.
I am new to regular expression , i want a regular expression which satisfies following reqs:
User can enter a value in which the fractional part should not be more than 3 digits ,it can be less than 3 digits and the decimal part should not more than 1 digit.The number can be without decimal part in that case the digits should not more than 3.It is also possible to just have decimal part.Please help
Please try this,
^\d{0,3}(\.(?=\d)\d){0,1}$
This matches the followings,
123
1.2
12.3
123.4
I hope this helps.
Need regular expression which have:
Maximum 8 digits before decimal(.) point
Maximum 4 digits after decimal point
Decimal point is optional
Maximum valid decimal is 8 digits before decimal and 4 digits after decimal
So 99999999.9999
The regular rexpression I have tried ^\d{0,8}[.]?\d{1,4}$ is failing for 123456789
and more than this. means it is taking more than 8 digits if decimal point is not available.
Tested here : http://regexpal.com/
Many many thanks in advance!
^\d{0,8}(\.\d{1,4})?$
You can make the entire decimal optional
You can try this:
^\d{1,8}(?:\.\d{1,4})?$
or
^[1-9]\d{0,7}(?:\.\d{1,4})?$
If you don't want to have a zero as first digit.
You can allow this if you want: (.1234)
^[1-9]\d{0,7}(?:\.\d{1,4})?|\.\d{1,4}$
Any of the above did not work for me.
Only this works for me
^([0-9]{0,2}((.)[0-9]{0,2}))$
This regex is working for most cases even negative prices,
(\-?\d+\.?\d{0,2})
Tested with the following,
9
9.97
37.97
132.97
-125.55
12.2
1000.00
10000.00
100000.00
1000000.00
401395011
If there is a price of $9.97, £9.97 or €9.97 it will validate 9.97 removing the symbol.
1-(\$+.[1-9])
2-(\£+.[1-9])
You can use this expression for complete price digits.
I'm using this:
^[1-9]\d{0,7}(\.\d{1-4})$
^ = the start of the string
[1-9] = at least the string has to begin with 1 number between 1 and 9
\d{0,7} = optional or max 7 times d (digit: a number between 0 and 9)
() = create a group like a substring
. = need a .
\d{1-4} = digit repited max 4 time
$ end of the string
For price validation we can not allow inputs with leading repeating zeros like 0012 etc.
My solution check for any cases. Also it allows maximum 2 decimal point after the dot.
^(?:0\.[0-9]{1,2}|[1-9]{1}[0-9]*(\.[0-9]{1,2})?|0)$
Looking for regex which will strictly allow 1 to 9 digits before decimal dot(.) and 1 or 2 digits after dot(.)
It should validate
65564.54
654654654.45
1.55
But not
556
654654654
65455.6544
55.566
I have tried ^[0-9]{1,9}\.[0-9]{1,2}$
^\d{1,9}\.\d{1,2}$
http://rubular.com/r/IdYgiwNmoH
And for numbers not separated by linebreaks:
\b\d{1,9}\.\d{1,2}\b
http://rubular.com/r/yVFJKsqsiZ
The expression you've tried works fine, as long as you intend the number to be the entire line. If you're intending that the value be part of the line amongst other things, your ^ and $ are the problems.
Your regex is fine. I'm not sure what langauge you are working with, but you can verify javascript regex with Regex Pal:
