Regular Expression for Range (2-16)

Question

I want to match a number between 2-16, spanning 1 digit to 2 digits.

Regular-Expressions.info has examples for 1 or 2 digit ranges, but not something that spans both:

Answer 1

Use the python package regex_engine for generate regular expressions for numerical ranges

You can install this package by using pip

pip install regex-engine

from regex_engine import generator

generate = generator()

regex = generate.numerical_range(2,16)

print(regex)

^([2-9]|1[0-6])$

You can also generate regexes for floating point and negative ranges

from regex_engine import generator

generate = generator()

regex1 = generate.numerical_range(5,89)
regex2 = generate.numerical_range(81.78,250.23)
regex3 = generate.numerical_range(-65,12)
