I am trying to validate a comma separated list of numbers 1-31 unique (not repeating).
i.e.
2,4,6,7,1 is valid input.
2,2,6 is invali
For a number range that exceeds 1 digit, just add word boundary's around
the capture group and the back reference.
This isolates a complete number.
This particular one is numb range 1-31
^ # BOS
(?! # Validate no dups
.*
( # (1 start)
\b
(?: [1-9] | [1-2] \d | 3 [0-1] ) # number range 1-31
\b
) # (1 end)
.*
\b \1 \b
)
(?: [1-9] | [1-2] \d | 3 [0-1] ) # Unrolled-loop, match 1 to many numb's
(?: # in the number range 1-31
,
(?: [1-9] | [1-2] \d | 3 [0-1] )
)*
$ # EOS
var data = [
'2,4,6,7,1',
'2,2,6',
'2,30,16,3',
'2,',
'1,2,3,2',
'1,2,2,3',
'1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8'
];
data.forEach(function(str) {
document.write(str + ' gives ' + /^(?!.*(\b(?:[1-9]|[1-2]\d|3[0-1])\b).*\b\1\b)(?:[1-9]|[1-2]\d|3[0-1])(?:,(?:[1-9]|[1-2]\d|3[0-1]))*$/.test(str) + '
');
});
