Hi,
I have been playing with regex's a bit.
But am still very crude at it.
How does this look?
[1-9][0-9]{0,7}[.][0-9]{2}
I tried it and it works

cheers

Hi,

Thanx a lot

its working but still have a doubt the thing is consider a person should enter marks some people will be getting decimals too.so my text box should accept both integers and decimals too.and if decimal occurs it should be upto 2 digits only.
Kindly note Decimal is not a compulsory One .
And my Maxlength Property of my Textbox is 8.

re: Regular Expression Validator

Hi,

Consider a scenario,
People should enter amount in price textbox.
since people vary from each others ,some enter a int(eg 1245) and some may enter (eg 456.50 ) so my textbox should accept both the whole numbers and decimal numbers.

And my Textbox length is 8.

Can any one clearly guide or give the expression .bcoz i am new to validation control
If am using this [1-9][0-9]{0,7}[.][0-9]{2} its not accepting whole numbers accepting only decimal numbers so i want tht decimal symbol should be optional

re: Regular Expression Validator

Last time I had an optional expression I used two expressions. HTH.

re: Regular Expression Validator

2 expressions, yea, thanks for that....I just discovered you can put in 2 expressions and either one can be matched.....
Is regex the most compact language made :P
