Number Validation 2

[KOVMoe]

I need to limit the number input into a field to less than 1,000,000. The user might enter the infroamtion as 99999, or 22,222, and so on.

I have tried this:

var objChk2 = /^(\d{0,2}\,\d{0,3})$/;
but that will not allow numbers less than 10,000

then i tried
var objChk5 = /^(\d\d\,\d\d\d)$/;
but it will not allow any thing less than 1000

Any ideas would be GREAT!


Thank you,

I suggest not using a regular expression.

var myVal = parseInt("100,000,001");
if ( myVal >= 1000000 ) {
    alert("must be less than 1,000,000!");
}

But looking at what your attempts, I'm not sure whether you mean 100,000 or 1,000,000. This is how.

[1] Less than 100,000 - thousand separator (,) allowed
[tt] var rx=/^([1-9][0-9],?\d{3}|[1-9],?\d{3}|[1-9\d{2}|[1-9]\d{1}|[0-9])$/;[/tt]

[2] Less than 1,000,000 - thousand separator (,) allowed
[tt] var rxx=/^([1-9][0-9][0-9],?\d{3}|[1-9][0-9],?\d{3}|[1-9],?\d{3}|[1-9\d{2}|[1-9]\d{1}|[0-9])$/;[/tt]

ok, both are great, and work. This is what I came up with:
function validateForm() {
frm = document.frmDataInputs;
var objRegExp = /(^-?\d\d*\.\d*$)|(^-?\d\d*$)|(^-?\.\d\d*$)/;
//number from not to exceed 999,999
var objChk6 = /^(\d{1,3},\d{3}|\d{1,3})$/;
//number not to exceed 99,999
var objChk5 = /^(\d{1,2},\d{3}|\d{1,3})$/;
//number not to exceed 9,999
var objChk4 = /^(\d{1,1},\d{3}|\d{1,3})$/;
//number not to exceed 999
var objChk3 = /^(\d{3}|\d{1,3})$/;
//number not to exceed 999, with decimals, 2 digits.
var objChD2 = /^(\d{3}|\d{1,3})|(d{1,3}\.\d{1,2})$/;
var strErrorMessage = "";
var blnIsValid = true;

much easier than the parseInt solution...

hey hey... i don't want your charity.

i was just trying to understand why a regex solution was needed, when indeed they're more of a resource hog than some non-regex solutions.

it wasn't charity, is was a well earned star!

lol - you're looking for logic when there isn't any

parseInt:

easy? yes
resource-hog? no
sexy? [!]hell no![/!]

There you go cory - you have your answer.

Unfortunately, "parseInt("100,000,001")" returns "100".

hmm, why is that? is it too large a number?

or maybe because it considers commas or decimals to be the integer/decimal separator? weird.

ahh, interesting. from w3schools:

Note: Only the first number in the string is returned!

Note: Leading and trailing spaces are allowed.

Note: If the first character cannot be converted to a number, parseInt() returns NaN.

then i propose a simpler reg ex:

    var num = "1,000,000";
    var re = /\D+/g;
    if (parseInt(num.replace(re, "")) > 500000) {
        alert("can't be greater than 500 g's");
    }

[kaht]

silly cory

    var num = "400,000[!].123[/!]";
    var re = /\D+/g;
    if (parseInt(num.replace(re, "")) > 500000) {
        alert("can't be greater than 500 g's");
    }

Gotta make sure you don't kill the periods (and the + is not necessary if you use the global parameter):

var re = /[^0-9.]/g;

But the parseInt solution as such does not deliver, mind you.
