Answer 1

Regexes for floating-point numbers are a solved problem:

\d*\.?\d+

For at least two decimals:

(\d*\.\d)?\d+

To make it more comprehensible:

\d+|\d*\.\d{2,}

And for exactly two decimals:

\d+|\d*\.\d{2}

Depending on your language, don't forget to anchor the expression so that it must match the whole string.
