Javascript function need allow numbers, dot and comma

Question

I need to create a function to allow numbers dot and comma. So anyone corrects the following function

function on(evt) {
  var theEvent = evt || window.event         


        

Answer 1

Firstly your regex currently doesn't allow comma, which is your requirement.

Secondly, you haven't used any quantifier, so your regex will match only a single character - one of [0-9] or a dot. You need to use a quantifier.

Thirdly, instead of using pipe, you can move all characters inside the character class only.

Try using the below regex:

/^[0-9.,]+$/

Quantifier + is used to match 1 or more occurrence of the pattern.
^ and $ anchors match the beginning, and end of the string respectively.

Answer 2

Sometimes /^[0-9.,]+$/ is not work If not, then you could do something like this:

/^(?:[\d-]*,?[\d-]*\.?[\d-]*|[\d-]*\.[\d-]*,[\d-]*)$/

Answer 3

The Regex that I made for numbers following format of COMMA9.2

Example

1. 1,350.88
2. 120.00
3. 1,500,999.24
4. 100
5. 10000000

RegEx

^(\d+|\d{1,3},\d{3}|\d{1,3},\d{3},\d{3}|\d{1,3}(,\d{3})*|\d{1,3}(,\d{3})*\.\d+)$

Answer 4

This is the best solution, in my opinion, covers more cases of inputs and allow floats.

     $( ".numerical" ).on('input', function() { 
                var value=$(this).val().replace(/[^0-9.,]*/g, '');
                value=value.replace(/\.{2,}/g, '.');
                value=value.replace(/\.,/g, ',');
                value=value.replace(/\,\./g, ',');
                value=value.replace(/\,{2,}/g, ',');
                value=value.replace(/\.[0-9]+\./g, '.');
                $(this).val(value)

        });

Answer 5

No need for JavaScript:

<input type="text" pattern="[0-9.,]+" title="Please enter a valid decimal number." />

Modern browsers will handle this perfectly.

If you want to specifically allow commas as thousand separators and a single decimal point, try this:

... pattern="\d{1,2}(,\d{3})*(\.\d+)?" ...

Note that I am firmly against blocking user input. They should be able to type what they want, and then told if they enter something invalid.

Answer 6

Your regex is incorrect.

var regex = /^[0-9.,]+$/;

Regex javascript, why dot and comma are matching for \
