Hello
I'm new to this Regular Expression and need some help. I want to
restrict what the user types in a text box.
The User can type only A-Z, a-z, 0-9, spaces, comma, dash, period,
single and double quotes.
If it has anything other than that, I need to display message. How
would I do that? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Sue..

^[A-Za-z0-9\s,.-]*$
^ (anchor to start of string)
Any character in "A-Za-z0-9\s,.-"
* (zero or more times)
$ (anchor to end of string)
Note the inside the [] the period does not need to be escaped, as it's "any
character" meaning would be pointless there. And the dash does not need to
be escaped because it is last (althought, through the odd alignment of the
ASCII characters, comma-dash-period means exactly the same as
comma-period-dash.)

Hello to everyone,
Yesterday I tried long time to make a validation for a number format
input field.
As I am using Regex in Java I wrote following expression:
String pattern =
"((\\d+)((\\.)(\\d+)(\\,(\\d)+)?)?)|((\\d+)((\\,)(\\d+)(\\.(\\d)+)?)?)";
So the sequence of the chars of the input field could be?

Hello all,
I am attempting to create a small scripting application to be used
during testing. I extract the commands from the script file I was going
to tokenize the each line as one of the requirements is there one
command per line. I have always wanted to learn Regular Expressions, so
I was hoping I might do this using Regular Expressions. For a fair
number of the command will have the syntax like

Hi All,
I need a regular expression to be used in an ASP page which would
allow a user to enter:
1000 as well as
1,000
i.e. an amount without comma as well as with comma(for example 10,000
or 100,000 etc.)

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
Here is the code in...
