RegExp range of number (1 to 36)

Question

I searched a lot and can\'t find the solution for this RegExp (I have to say I\'m not very experienced in Reg. Expressions).

I would like to test a number between 1

Answer 1

^[0-9]|[0-2][0-9]|3[0-6]$

Here's a breakdown of it:

---

[0-9] = any digit from 0-9

---

| = OR

---

[0-2][0-9] = '1' or '2', followed by any digit from 0-9

---

| = OR

---

3[0-6] = '3', followed by any digit from 0-6.

As @mu is too short said, using an integer comparison would be a lot easier, and more efficient. Here's an example function:

function IsInRange(number)
{
    return number > 0 && number < 37;
}
