Regex for a combination of digits and space

[suresh midde]

Hi,

Currently I am working on a regex that should accomodate input as

123456789 (space characters can be multiple) - (space characters can be multiple) 22343434343

So its a hypen separated range, that has to have a combination of digits and space characters (space characters can be zero or any number of times.)


I have got a regex like this

[0-9]{0,15}\\s*-\\s*[0-9]{0,15}\\s*

which works fine for

1. Combination of digits and space
2. Combination of digits alone

and even works for the
Just spaces separated by hypen without any digits like -

I want to avoid such a combination without having any digits

Can any one help me in this regard

Regards
Suresh Midde

Using "{1,15}" instead of "{0,15}" would do that. Or is it acceptable if only one of the two groups has digits?

Hi Dittmer,

Thanks, its working based on your suggestion.

I just need to avoid the third combination of spaces .

And with the above,it fulfills my requirement.

Off-topic: if you use the quote button () it will look like this reply. Doesn't that a) look a lot nicer, and b) save you the effort of copying this information?
