I have a regex expression like this
/^[0-9]*\s*kg\s*[0-9]*$/
This accepts strings like 100 kg or 100kg. I am tring to make it also accept 100.1kg or 100.1 kg or 10,20 kg and so on (both dot and decimal should be accepted). How do I change that current regex so that those numbers I mentioned also tests true? I have seen this regex which supports numbres and decimals but I am unsure how to combine it with my regex.
^[0-9]{1,2}([,.][0-9]{1,2})?$
To make it optional you could use an optional non capturing group (?: and add matching 0+ times a whitespace after it:
^[0-9]+(?:[,.][0-9]+)?\s*kg$
Regex demo
Now it will match
^ Start of the string
[0-9]+ 1+ digits
(?: Non capturing group
[,.][0-9]+ match comma or dot and 1+ digits
)? Close non capturing group and make it optional
\s*kg Match 0+ times a whitespace character
$ End of the string
For incorporating decimal values optionally in addition to whole number values, you can just place this regex (?:[.,]\d+)? after ^[0-9]* which will allow it to support decimal values like you mentioned in your post. Overall regex becomes this,
^\d*(?:[.,]\d+)?\s*kg\s*$

So as an exercise I wanted to match any JS number. This is the one I could come up with:
/^(-?)(0|([1-9]\d*?|0)(\.\d+)?)$/
This however doesn't match the new syntax with underscore separators (1_2.3_4). I tried a couple of things but I couldn't come up with something that would work. How could I express all JS numbers in one regex?
For the format in the question, you could use:
^-?\d+(?:_\d+)*(?:\.\d+(?:_\d+)*)?$
See a regex demo.
Or allowing only a single leading zero:
^-?(?:0|[1-9]\d*)(?:_\d+)*(?:\.\d+(?:_\d+)*)?$
The pattern matches:
^ Start of string
-? Match an optional -
(?:0|[1-9]\d*) Match either 0 or 1-9 and optional digits
(?:_\d+)* Optionally repeat matching _ and 1+ digits
(?: Non capture group
\.\d+(?:_\d+)* Match . and 1+ digits and optionally repeat matching _ and 1+ digits
)? Close non capture group
$ End of string
See another regex demo.
how about this?
^(-?)(0|([1-9]*?(\_)?(\d)|0|)(\.\d+)?(\_)?(\d))$
I've read other stackoverflow posts about a simple arithmetic expression regex, but none of them is working with my issue:
I need to validate this kind of expression: "12+5.6-3.51-1.06",
I tried
const mathre = /(\d+(.)?\d*)([+-])?(\d+(.)?\d*)*/;
console.log("12+5.6-3.51-1.06".match(mathre));
but the result is '12+5', and I can't figure why ?
You only get 12.5 as a match, as there is not /g global flag, but if you would enable the global flag it will give partial matches as there are no anchors ^ and $ in the pattern validating the whole string.
The [+-] is only matched once, which should be repeated to match it multiple times.
Currently the pattern will match 1+2+3 but it will also match 1a1+2b2 as the dot is not escaped and can match any character (use \. to match it literally).
For starting with digits and optional decimal parts and repeating 1 or more times a + or -:
^\d+(?:\.\d+)?(?:[-+]\d+(?:\.\d+)?)+$
Regex demo
If the values can start with optional plus and minus and can also be decimals without leading digits:
^[+-]?\d*\.?\d+(?:[-+][+-]?\d*\.?\d+)+$
^ Start of string
[+-]? Optional + or -
\d*\.\d+ Match *+ digits with optional . and 1+ digits
(?: Non capture group
[-+] Match a + or -
[+-]?\d*\.\d+ Match an optional + or - 0+ digits and optional . and 1+ digits
)+ Close the noncapture group and repeat 1+ times to match at least a single + or -
$ End of string

You would try to use this solution for PCRE compatible RegExp engine:
^(?:(-?\d+(?:[\.,]{1}\d)?)[+-]?)*(?1)$
^ Start of String
(?: Non capture group ng1
(-?\d+(?:[\.,]{1}\d)?) Pattern for digit with or without start
"-" and with "." or "," in the middle, matches 1 or 1.1 or 1,1
(Matching group 1)
[+-]? Pattern for "+" or "-"
)* Says
that group ng1 might to repeat 0 or more times
(?1) Says that
it must be a digit in the end of pattern by reference to the first subpattern
$ End of string
As JS does not support recursive reference, you may use full version instead:
/^(?:(-?\d+(?:[\.,]{1}\d)?)[+-]?)*(-?\d+(?:[\.,]{1}\d)?)$/gm
I have the following filtered:
2 digits (?=..*\d)
2 uppercase characters (?=..*[a-z])
2 lowercase characters (?=..*[A-Z])
10 to 63 characters .{10,63}$
Which translates to:
(?=.{2,}\d)(?=..*[a-z])(?=..*[A-Z]).{10,63}
Then I want to exclude a word starting with the letter u, and ending with three to six digits:
([uU][0-9]{3,6})
However, how can I merge these two patterns to do the following:
It should not allow the following because it respectively:
# does not have the required combination of characters
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
# is too long

ABcd56U00007890
D4gF3U432234

should allow the following:
# it has the required combination of characters
ABcd5678990
ABcd567890
# does contain a part of the disallowed pattern (`([uU][0-9]{3,6})`), but does not fit that pattern entirely

In your pattern you make use of a lookahead (?=..*\d) which has a different meaning than you assume.
It means if what is directly on the right is 2 or more times any char except a newline followed by a single digit and the same for the upper and lowercase variants.
You could update your pattern to:
^(?!.*[uU]\d{3,6})(?=(?:\D*\d){2})(?=(?:[^a-z]*[a-z]){2})(?=(?:[^A-Z]*[A-Z]){2}).{10,63}$
In parts
^ Start of string
(?!.*[uU]\d{3,6}) Negative lookahead, assert not u or U followed by 3-6 digits
(?=(?:\D*\d){2}) Assert 2 digits
(?=(?:[^a-z]*[a-z]){2}) Assert 2 lowercase chars
(?=(?:[^A-Z]*[A-Z]){2}) Assert 2 uppercase chars
.{10,63} Match any char except a newline 10-63 times
$ End of string
Regex demo
First, the way to ensure that the string contains, for example, two digits would be to use a positive lookahead:
(?=.*\d.*\d)
You can generalize this to your other filters.
To make sure the string contains 10 - 63 characters:
.{10,63}
You say you do not want the string to begin with u or U followed by 3 to 6 digits (presumbaly 7 digits is okay), use a negative lookahead:
(?![uU]\d{3,6}\D)
The \D is required to make sure that if there is a 7th digit, then the string will be accepted.
Putting it all together:
r'^(?=.*\d.*\d)(?=.*[a-z].*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z].*[A-Z])(?![uU]\d{3,6}\D).{10,63}$'
I'm stuck trying to capture a structure like this:
1:1 wefeff qwefejä qwefjk
dfjdf 10:2 jdskjdksdjö
12:1 qwe qwe: qwertyå
I would want to match everything between the digits, followed by a colon, followed by another set of digits. So the expected output would be:
match 1 = 1:1 wefeff qwefejä qwefjk dfjdf
match 2 = 10:2 jdskjdksdjö
match 3 = 12:1 qwe qwe: qwertyå
Here's what I have tried:
\d+\:\d+.+
But that fails if there are word characters spanning two lines.
I'm using a javascript based regex engine.
You may use a regex based on a tempered greedy token:
/\d+:\d+(?:(?!\d+:\d)[\s\S])*/g
The \d+:\d+ part will match one or more digits, a colon, one or more digits and (?:(?!\d+:\d)[\s\S])* will match any char, zero or more occurrences, that do not start a sequence of one or more digits followed with a colon and a digit. See this regex demo.
As the tempered greedy token is a resource consuming construct, you can unroll it into a more efficient pattern like
/\d+:\d+\D*(?:\d(?!\d*:\d)\D*)*/g
See another regex demo.
Now, the () is turned into a pattern that matches strings linearly:
\D* - 0+ non-digit symbols
(?: - start of a non-capturing group matching zero or more sequences of:
\d - a digit that is...
(?!\d*:\d) - not followed with 0+ digits, : and a digit
\D* - 0+ non-digit symbols
)* - end of the non-capturing group.
you can use or not the ñ-Ñ, but you should be ok this way
\d+?:\d+? [a-zñA-ZÑ ]*
Edited:
If you want to include the break lines, you can add the \n or \r to the set,
\d+?:\d+? [a-zñA-ZÑ\n ]*
\d+?:\d+? [a-zñA-ZÑ\r ]*
Give it a try ! also tested in https://regex101.com/
for more chars:
^[a-zA-Z0-9!##\$%\^\&*)(+=._-]+$
Using JavaScript, I need to accept only numbers and commas.
The regex pattern I am using is as follows
var pattern = /^[-+]?[0-9]+(\.[0-9]+)?$/;
How do I accept commas in the above pattern So that values like 3200 or 3,200 or 3,200.00 and so are valid?
There are similar questions that only partially deal with this:
Regex validation for numbers with comma separator (only whole numbers with no fractional part)
Decimal number regular expression, where digit after decimal is optional (no comma separation, fractional part limited to 1 digit)
Javascript function need allow numbers, dot and comma (the dots, commas and digits are matched in any order)
Use the following regex:
^[-+]?(?:[0-9]+,)*[0-9]+(?:\.[0-9]+)?$
See regex demo
The basic change here is the addition of (?:[0-9]+,)* subpattern that matches:
[0-9]+ - 1 or more digits
, - a comma
0 or more times (thanks to * quantifier).
I also used non-capturing groups so that regex output is "cleaner".
If you need to check for 3-digit groups in the number, use
^[-+]?[0-9]+(?:,[0-9]{3})*(?:\.[0-9]+)?$
See another demo
Here, (?:,[0-9]{3})* matches 0 or more sequences of a comma and 3-digit substrings ([0-9]{3}). {3} is a limiting quantifier matching exactly 3 occurrences of the preceding subpattern.
