RegExp for validating PRICE [closed]

Answer 1

It's easiest to just include the things you want and exclude everything else. It looks like you want digits, commas, and periods. A regex for this would look like /^[\d.,]+$/. This doesn't specify any order for the formatting. If you wanted commas to only appear in groups of 3 digits (not great of internationalization, but functional for US) for instance, you would need something more like /^\d{,3}(,\d{3})*(\.\d+)?$/ - 0-3 digits followed by 0 or more groups of ',NNN' with an optional '.N').

If you wanted to separately detect the things you wanted to avoid, you could use something like /[-A-z \t]/ - dash, letters (upper and lower), spaces or tabs.

Answer 2

This regex ought to do it:

^[\d\.,]+$

Edit:

Here's a better regex, to allow more sane number formats (for US dollars). Still not perfect - would need to know exactly what validation you are expecting, if this isn't quite it.

^(\d{1,3})?(,?\d{3})*(\.\d{2})?$

Answer 3

RegExp for validating Price Fields:

/^(\d*([.,](?=\d{3}))?\d+)+((?!\2)[.,]\d\d)?$/

Explained demo: http://regex101.com/r/uG5lI0/1

Javascript code to validate:

/^(\d*([.,](?=\d{3}))?\d+)+((?!\2)[.,]\d\d)?$/.test(input)

Will validate only if in correct format, with dots or commas in their respective places.

International format for the en_US locale & US national format:

• 134.56
• 1,234.56
• 2,991,234.00

Italian national format with 2 decimals:

• 134,56
• 21.234,56
• 1.234,56
• 9.321.234,56

International format for the de_DE locale:

• 134,56
• 1234,56
• 98281234,56

Decimals are optional, validation for whole amounts:

• 1234
• 1,234
• 2,991,234
• 1.234
• 9.321.234

function validatePrice(input) {
  return /^(\d*([.,](?=\d{3}))?\d+)+((?!\2)[.,]\d\d)?$/.test(input);
}
