I\'m currently using the pattern: \\b\\d+\\b
, testing it with these entries:
numb3r
2
3454
3.214
test
I only want it to catc
^(-+)?[1-9][0-9]*$ starts with a - or + for 0 or 1 times, then you want a non zero number (because there is not such a thing -0 or +0) and then it continues with any number from 0 to 9
All you want is the below regex:
^\d+$
^([+-]?[0-9]\d*|0)$
will accept numbers with leading "+", leading "-" and leadings "0"
This solution matches integers:
/^(0|-*[1-9]+[0-9]*)$/
This worked in my case where I needed positive and negative integers that should NOT include zero-starting numbers like 01258 but should of course include 0
^(-?[1-9]+\d*)$|^0$
Example of valid values: "3", "-3", "0", "-555", "945465464654"
Example of not valid values: "0.0", "1.0", "0.7", "690.7", "0.0001", "a", "", " ", ".", "-", "001", "00.2", "000.5", ".3", "3.", " -1", "+100", "--1", "-.1", "-0", "00099", "099"
I would add this as a comment to the other good answers, but I need more reputation to do so. Be sure to allow for scientific notation if necessary, i.e. 3e4 = 30000. This is default behavior in many languages. I found the following regex to work:
/^[-+]?\d+([Ee][+-]?\d+)?$/;
// ^^ If 'e' is present to denote exp notation, get it
// ^^^^^ along with optional sign of exponent
// ^^^ and the exponent itself
// ^ ^^ The entire exponent expression is optional
