I'm looking for a expression range for monetary purposes. It needs to be 1 - 1 million and allow commas and periods. I don't need a min/max of (, and .) for correct formatting but I would like the digits after a period to be a min/max of 2 for actual cent values. Thanks
In Range:
640 or 5,000.35 or 999,000
Not in Range:
01 or 1,000,000.01 or 333,567.678
What I would suggest is :
Use something like that to verify that the input has a specific format :
(here's a demo - http://regexr.com?30l28)
(1[\.,])?([0-9]{1,3}[\.,])?([0-9]{1,3})([\.,][0-9]{1,2})
And then test the value range :
is value<1.000.000?
My regex is by no means 100% complete, but it DOES verify your general number format though.
This should do it:
^(1(\.\d{2})?|[1-9]\d{0,2}(,?\d{3})?(\.\d{2})?)|1((,000){0,2}|(000){0,2})(\.00)?$
But it would probably easier if you normalize the value first (e. g. remove any character except digits and the .) and then parse it.

I need regex to validate a number that could contain thousand separators or decimals using javascript.
Max value being 9,999,999.99
Min value 0.01
Other valid values:
11,111
11.1
1,111.11
INVALID values:
1111
1111,11
,111
111,
I've searched all over with no joy.
/^\d{1,3}(,\d{3})*(\.\d+)?$/
About the minimum and maximum values... Well, I wouldn't do it with a regex, but you can add lookaheads at the beginning:
/^(?!0+\.00)(?=.{1,9}(\.|$))\d{1,3}(,\d{3})*(\.\d+)?$/
Note: this allows 0,999.00, so you may want to change it to:
/^(?!0+\.00)(?=.{1,9}(\.|$))(?!0(?!\.))\d{1,3}(,\d{3})*(\.\d+)?$/
which would not allow a leading 0.
Edit:
Tests: http://jsfiddle.net/pKsYq/2/
((\d){1,3})+([,][\d]{3})*([.](\d)*)?
It worked on a few, but I'm still learning regex as well.
The logic should be 1-3 digits 0-1 times, 1 comma followed by 3 digits any number of times, and a single . followed by any number of digits 0-1 times
First, I want to point out that if you own the form the data is coming from, the best way to restrict the input is to use the proper form elements (aka, number field)
<input type="number" name="size" min="0.01" max="9,999,999.99" step="0.01">
Whether "," can be entered will be based on the browser, but the browser will always give you the value as an actual number. (Remember that all form data must be validated/sanitized server side as well. Never trust the client)
Second, I'd like to expand on the other answers to a more robust (platform independent)/modifiable regex.
You should surround the regex with ^ and $ to make sure you are matching against the whole number, not just a subset of it. ex ^<my_regex>$
The right side of the decimal is optional, so we can put it in an optional group (<regex>)?
Matching a literal period and than any chain of numbers is simply \.\d+
If you want to insist the last number after the decimal isn't a 0, you can use [1-9] for "a non-zero number" so \.\d+[1-9]
For the left side of the decimal, the leading number will be non-zero, or the number is zero. So ([1-9]<rest-of-number-regex>|0)
The first group of numbers will be 1-3 digits so [1-9]\d{0,2}
After that, we have to add digits in 3s so (,\d{3})*
Remember ? means optional, so to make the , optional is just (,?\d{3})*
Putting it all together
^([1-9]\d{0,2}(,?\d{3})*|0)(\.\d+[1-9])?$
Tezra's formula fails for '1.' or '1.0'. For my purposes, I allow leading and trailing zeros, as well as a leading + or - sign, like so:
^[-+]?((\d{1,3}(,\d{3})*)|(\d*))(\.|\.\d*)?$
In a recent project we needed to alter this version in order to meet international requirements.
This is what we used: ^-?(\d{1,3}(?<tt>\.|\,| ))((\d{3}\k<tt>)*(\d{3}(?!\k<tt>)[\.|\,]))?\d*$
Creating a named group (?<tt>\.|\,| ) allowed us to use the negative look ahead (?!\k<tt>)[\.|\,]) later to ensure the thousands separator and the decimal point are in fact different.
I have used below regrex for following retrictions -
^(?!0|\.00)[0-9]+(,\d{3})*(.[0-9]{0,2})$
Not allow 0 and .00.
','(thousand seperator) after 3 digits.
'.' (decimal upto 2 decimal places).
I need to validate with regex a date in format yyyy-mm-dd (2019-12-31) that should be within the range 2019-12-20 - 2020-01-10.
What would be the regex for this?
Thanks
Regex only deal with characters. so we have to work out at each position in the date what are the valid characters.
The first part is easy. The first two characters have to be 20
Now it gets complicated the next character can be a 1 or a 2 but what follows depends on the value of that character so we split the rest of the regex into two sections the first if the third character matches 1 and the second if it matches 2
We know that if the third character is a 1 then what must follow is the characters 9-12- as the range starts at 2019-12-20 now for the day part. The 9th character is the tens for the day this can only be 2 or 3 as we are already in the last month and the minimum date is 20. The last character can be any digit 0-9. This gives us a day match of [23][0-9]. Putting this together we now have a pattern for years starting 2019 as 19-12-[23][0-9]
It the third character is a 2 then we can match up to the day part of the date a gain as the range ends in January. This gives us a partial match of 20-01- leaving us to work on the day part. Hear we know that the first character of the day can either be a 1 or 0 however if it's a 1 then the last character must be a 0 and if it's a 0 then the last character can only be in the range 1 to 9. This give us another alteration (?:0[1-9]|10) Putting the second part together we get 20-01-(?:0[1-9]|10).
Combining these together gives the final regex 20(?:19-12-[23][0-9]|20-01-(?:0[1-9]|10))
Note that I'm assuming that the date you are testing against is a validly formatted date.
Try this:
(2019|2020)\-(12|01)\-([0-3][0-9]|[0-9])
But be aware that this will allow number up to where the first digit is between zero and three and the second digit between zero and nine for the dd value. You could specify all numbers you want to allow (from 20 to 10) like this (20|21|22|23|24|25|26|27|28|29|30|31|01|1|02|2|03|3|04|4|05|5|06|6|07|7|08|8|09|9|10).
(2019|2020)\-(12|01)\-(20|21|22|23|24|25|26|27|28|29|30|31|01|1|02|2|03|3|04|4|05|5|06|6|07|7|08|8|09|9|10)
But honestly... Regular-Expressions are not the right tool for this. RegExp gives a mask to something, not a logical context. Use regex to extract the data/value from a string and validate those values using another language.
The above 2nd Regex will, f.e. match your dates, but also values outside of this range since there is no context between 2019|2020 and the second group 12|01 so they match values like 2019-12-11 but also 2020-12-11.
To only match the values you want this will be a really large regex like this (inner brackets only if you need them) ((2019)-(12)-(20)|(2019)-(12)-(21)|(2019)-(12)-(22)|...) and continue with all possible dates - and ask yourself: what would you do if you find such a regex in a project you have to work with ;)
Better solution (quick and dirty, there might be better solutions):
(?<yyyy>20[0-9]{2})\-(?<mm>[01][0-9]|[0-9])\-(?<dd>[0-3][0-9]|[0-9])
This way you have three named groups (yyyy, mm, dd) you can access and validate the matched values... The regex is smaller, you have a better association between code and regex and both are easier to maintain.
I want to check if a number is 50 or more using a regular expression. This in itself is no problem but the number field has another regex checking the format of the entered number.
The number will be in the continental format: 123.456,78 (a dot between groups of three digits and always a comma with 2 digits at the end)
Examples:
100.000,00
50.000,00
50,00
34,34
etc.
I want to capture numbers which are 50 or more. So from the four examples above the first three should be matched.
I've come up with this rather complicated one and am wondering if there is an easier way to do this.
^(\d{1,3}[.]|[5-9][0-9]|\d{3}|[.]\d{1,3})*[,]\d{2}$
EDIT
I want to match continental numbers here. The numbers have this format due to internal regulations and specify a price.
Example: 1000 EUR would be written as 1.000,00 EUR
50000 as 50.000,00 and so on.
It's a matter of taste, obviously, but using a negative lookahead gives a simple solution.
^(?!([1-4]?\d),)[1-9](\d{1,2})?(\.\d{3})*,\d{2}\b
In words: starting from a boundary ignore all numbers that start with 1 digit OR 2 digits (the first being a 1,2,3 or 4), followed by a comma.
Check on regex101.com
Try:
EDIT ^(.{3,}|[5-9]\d),\d{2}$
It checks if:
there 3 chars or more before the ,
there are 2 numbers before the , and the first is between 5 and 9
and then a , and 2 numbers
Donno if it answer your question as it'll return true for:
aa50,00
1sdf,54
But this assumes that your original string is a number in the format you expect (as it was not a requirement in your question).
EDIT 3
The regex below tests if the number is valid referring to the continental format and if it's equal or greater than 50. See tests here.
Regex: ^((([1-9]\d{0,2}\.)(\d{3}\.){0,}\d{3})|([1-9]\d{2})|([5-9]\d)),\d{2}$
Explanation (d is a number):
([1-9]\d{0,2}\.): either d., dd. or ddd. one time with the first d between 1 and 9.
(\d{3}\.){0,}: ddd. zero or x time
\d{3}: ddd 3 digit
These 3 parts combined match any numbers equals or greater than 1000 like: 1.000, 22.002 or 100.000.000.
([1-9]\d{2}): any number between 100 and 999.
([5-9]\d)): a number between 5 and 9 followed by a number. Matches anything between 50 and 99.
So it's either the one of the parts above or this one.
Then ,\d{2}$ matches the comma and the two last digits.
I have named all inner groups, for better understanding what part of number is matched by each group. After you understand how it works, change all ?P<..> to ?:.
This one is for any dec number in the continental format.
^(?P<common_int>(?P<int>(?P<int_start>[1-9]\d{1,2}|[1-9]\d|[1-9])(?P<int_end>\.\d{3})*|0)(?!,)|(?P<dec_int_having_frac>(?P<dec_int>(?P<dec_int_start>[1-9]\d{1,2}|[1-9]\d|[1-9])(?P<dec_int_end>\.\d{3})*,)|0,|,)(?=\d))(?P<frac_from_comma>(?<=,)(?P<frac>(?P<frac_start>\d{3}\.)*(?P<frac_end>\d{1,3})))?$
test
This one is for the same with the limit number>=50
^(?P<common_int>(?P<int>(?P<int_start>[1-9]\d{1,2}|[1-9]\d|[1-9])(?P<int_end>\.\d{3})+|(?P<int_short>[1-9]\d{2}|[5-9]\d))(?!,)|(?P<dec_int_having_frac>(?P<dec_int>(?P<dec_int_start>[1-9]\d{1,2}|[1-9]\d|[1-9])(?P<dec_int_end>\.\d{3})+,)|(?P<dec_short_int>[1-9]\d{2}|[5-9]\d),)(?=\d))(?P<frac_from_comma>(?<=,)(?P<frac>(?P<frac_start>\d{3}\.)*(?P<frac_end>\d{1,3})))?$
tests
If you always have the integer part under 999.999 and fractal part always 2 digits, it will be a bit more simple:
^(?P<dec_int_having_frac>(?P<dec_int>(?P<dec_int_start>[1-9]\d{1,2}|[1-9]\d|[1-9])(?P<dec_int_end>\.\d{3})?,)|(?P<dec_short_int>[1-9]\d{2}|[5-9]\d),)(?=\d)(?P<frac_from_comma>(?<=,)(?P<frac>(?P<frac_end>\d{1,2})))?$
test
If you can guarantee that the number is correctly formed -- that is, that the regex isn't expected to detect that 5,0.1 is invalid, then there are a limited number of passing cases:
ends with \d{3}
ends with [5-9]\d
contains \d{3},
contains [5-9]\d,
It's not actually necessary to do anything with \.
The easiest regex is to code for each of these individually:
(\d{3}$|[5-9]\d$|\d{3},|[5-9]\d)
You could make it more compact and efficient by merging some of the cases:
(\d{3}[$,]|[5-9]\d[$,])
If you need to also validate the format, you will need extra complexity. I would advise against attempting to do both in a single regex.
However unless you have a very good reason for having to do this with a regex, I recommend against it. Parse the string into an integer, and compare it with 50.
Is there a regular expression to match a numeric range, e.g. 1 - 20?
If so, is it possible to ensure that the left value is always less than the right value? It wouldn't make sense to have a range e.g. 20 - 1 or 15 - 5
As the commentors note: if this is possible in a regex it will be very hard. There is no direct support to perform arithmetical comparisons (including greater than) in a regex.
Better to use a regex to validate the format and capture the two numbers. If the regex matches then use the host language to convert the captures into numbers and compare.
Yes you can do that. You can ensure that a given number is smaller than another number in the same text.
This regex tests whether the first number is smaller than the next number: Format: XXX,YYY
XXX < YYY:
\b(?:[1-9](?<open>\B\d)+\d*,(?<close-open>\d)+(?(open)(?!))\b
|
(?<prefix>\d*)(?:(?<g0>0)|(?<g1>1)|(?<g2>2)|(?<g3>3)|(?<g4>4)|(?<g5>5)|(?<g6>6)|(?<g7>7)|(?<g8>8)|(?<g9>9))(?<suffix>\d)*,\k<prefix>(?(g0)(?!)|(?(g1)0|(?(g2)[01]|(?(g3)[0-2]|(?(g4)[0-3]|(?(g5)[0-4]|(?(g6)[0-5]|(?(g7)[0-6]|(?(g8)[0-7]|(?(g9)[0-8]))))))))))(?<suffix2-suffix>\d)*(?(suffix)(?!)))\b
XXX > YYY:
(?<open>\B\d|\b[1-9])+,[1-9](?<close-open>\d)+(?(open)(?!))\d*\b
|
(?<prefix>\d*)(?:(?<g0>0)|(?<g1>1)|(?<g2>2)|(?<g3>3)|(?<g4>4)|(?<g5>5)|(?<g6>6)|(?<g7>7)|(?<g8>8)|(?<g9>9))(?<suffix>\d)*,\k<prefix>(?(g0)[1-9]|(?(g1)[2-9]|(?(g2)[3-9]|(?(g3)[4-9]|(?(g4)[5-9]|(?(g5)[6-9]|(?(g6)[7-9]|(?(g7)[89]|(?(g8)9|(?(g9)(?!)))))))))))(?<suffix2-suffix>\d)*(?(suffix)(?!))
If you want to use - as separator you only have to replace the , with - in this regex. This regex was created and tested using C# regex.
What is the RegEx for value Range from 1- 365
Try this:
^(?:[1-9]\d?|[12]\d{2}|3[0-5]\d|36[0-5])$
The start anchor ^ and end anchor
$ are to match the whole input and
not just part of it.
(? ) is for grouping.
| is for alternation
[1-9]\d? matches 1 to 99
[12]\d{2} matches 100 to 299
3[0-5]\d matches 300 to 359
36[0-5] matches 360 to 365
You would have to list the possible combinations 1-9, 10-99, 100-299, 300-359, 360-365:
^([1-9]\d?|[12]\d\d|3[0-5]\d|36[0-5])$
Not really a good fit for regex, but if you insist:
^(?:36[0-5]|3[0-5][0-9]|[12][0-9][0-9]|[1-9][0-9]|[1-9])$
This is not allowing leading zeroes. If you wish to allow those, let me know.
The expression above can be shortened a little to
^(?:36[0-5]|3[0-5]\d|[12]\d{2}|[1-9]\d?)$
but I find the first solution to be a bit more readable. YMMV.
A general solution for matching the numbers from 1 to XYZ
^(?!0)(?!\d{4}$)(?![X+1-9]\d{2}$)(?!X[Y+1-9]\d$)(?!XY[Z+1-9]$)\d+$
Notes:
If any of X, Y or Z are 9 that will make X+1 etc. be 10. If that happens the regex part that would require using the 10 should be left out.
This can be extended to numbers with more or less digits following the same principles.
It does not allow left-padding 0es.
Applied to your case:
^(?!0)(?!\d{4}$)(?![4-9]\d{2}$)(?!3[7-9]\d$)(?!36[6-9]$)\d+$
Lets explain:
(?!0\d*) - does not start with 0
(?!\d{4}$) - does not have 4 digits, i.e. between 1000 and infinity
(?![4-9]\d{2}$) - it's not between 400 and 999
(?!3[7-9]\d$) - it's not between 370 and 399
(?!36[6-9]$) - it's not between 366 and 369
Test it.
^36[0-5]|(3[0-5]|[12]?[0-9])[0-9]$
^3(6[0-5]|[0-5]\d)|[12]\d\d|[1-9]\d|[1-9]$
Or if numbers like 05 can not be in input:
^3(6[0-5]|[0-5]\d)|[12]?\d?\d$
P.S.: Anyway no need of regex here. Use ToInt(), <=, >=
It really depends on your regex engine since they may not all be PCRE-style. I usually work to the lowest common denominator unless I know it will be targeting a minimum engine.
To that end, I'd just use something like:
^[1-9]|[1-9][0-9]|[1-2][0-9]{2}|3[0-5][0-9]|36[0-5]$
This will take care of (in order):
1-9.
10-99.
100-299.
300-359.
360-365.
However, unless you're absolutely required to use just a regex, I wouldn't. It's like trying to kill a fly with a thermo-nuclear warhead.
Just use the much simpler ^[0-9]{1,3}$ then use whatever language features you have to convert it to an integer and check it's between 1 and 365 inclusive:
def isValidDayOtherThanLeapYear (s):
if not s.matches ("^[0-9]{1,3}$"):
return false
n = s.toInteger()
if n < 1 or n > 365:
return false
return true
Your code will be more readable that way and I tend to rethink the use of regular expressions the second they start looking like they may be hard to read six months down the track.
This worked for me...
^[1-3][0-6]?[0-5]?$
