Using regular expressions to validate a numeric range
My input number is an int. But the input number must be in a range from -2055 to 2055 and I want to check this by using regular expression.
So is there anyway to write a regular expression to check whether a number is in (-2055, 2055) or not ?
It is easier to use if statement to check whether the number is in range or not. But I'm writing an interpreter so I should use regex to check the input number
Using regular expressions to validate a numeric range
To be clear: When a simple if statement will suffice
if(num < -2055 || num > 2055) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("num (" + num + ") must be between -2055 and 2055");
}
using regular expressions for validating numeric ranges is not recommended.
In addition, since regular expressions analyze strings, numbers must first be translated to a string before they can be tested. An exception is when the number happens to already be a string, such as when getting user input from the console.
(To ensure the string is a number to begin with, you could use org.apache.commons.lang3.math.NumberUtils#isNumber(s) )
Despite this, figuring out how to validate number ranges with regular expressions is interesting and instructive.
(The links in this answer come from the Stack Overflow Regular Expressions FAQ.)
A one number range
Rule: A number must be exactly 15 .
The simplest range there is. A regex to match this is
b15b
Word boundaries are necessary to avoid matching the 15 inside of 8215242 .
A two number range
The rule: The number must be between 15 and 16 . Here are three possible regexes:
b(15|16)b
b1(5|6)b
b1[5-6]b
(The groups are required for the "or"-ing, but they could be non-capturing: b(?:15|16)b )
A number range "mirrored" around zero
The rule: The number must be between -12 and 12 .
Here is a regex for 0 through 12 , positive-only:
b(d|1[0-2])b
Free-spaced:
b( //The beginning of a word (or number), followed by either
d // Any digit 0 through 9
| //Or
1[0-2] // A 1 followed by any digit between 0 and 2.
)b //The end of a word
Making this work for both negative and positive is as simple as adding an optional dash at the start:
-?b(d|1[0-2])b
(This assumes no inappropriate characters precede the dash.)
To forbid negative numbers, a negative lookbehind is necessary:
(?<!-)b(d|1[0-2])b
Leaving the lookbehind out would cause the 11 in -11 to match. (The first example in this post should have this added.)
Note: d versus [0-9]
In order to be compatible with all regex flavors, all d -s should be changed to [0-9] . For example, .NET considers non ASCII numbers, such as those in different languages, as legal values for d . Except for in the last example, for brevity, it's left as d .

Three digits, with all but the first digit equal to zero
Rule: Must be between 0 and 400 .
A possible regex:
(?<!-)b([1-3]?d{1,2}|400)b
Free spaced:
(?<!-) //Something not preceded by a dash
b( //Word-start, followed by either
[1-3]? // No digit, or the digit 1, 2, or 3
d{1,2} // Followed by one or two digits (between 0 and 9)
| //Or
400 // The number 400
)b //Word-end
Another possibility that should never be used:
b(0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15|16|17|18|19|20|21|22|23|24|25|26|27|28|29|30|31|32|33|34|35|36|37|38|39|40|41|42|43|44|45|46|47|48|49|50|51|52|53|54|55|56|57|58|59|60|61|62|63|64|65|66|67|68|69|70|71|72|73|74|75|76|77|78|79|80|81|82|83|84|85|86|87|88|89|90|91|92|93|94|95|96|97|98|99|100|101|102|103|104|105|106|107|108|109|110|111|112|113|114|115|116|117|118|119|120|121|122|123|124|125|126|127|128|129|130|131|132|133|134|135|136|137|138|139|140|141|142|143|144|145|146|147|148|149|150|151|152|153|154|155|156|157|158|159|160|161|162|163|164|165|166|167|168|169|170|171|172|173|174|175|176|177|178|179|180|181|182|183|184|185|186|187|188|189|190|191|192|193|194|195|196|197|198|199|200|201|202|203|204|205|206|207|208|209|210|211|212|213|214|215|216|217|218|219|220|221|222|223|224|225|226|227|228|229|230|231|232|233|234|235|236|237|238|239|240|241|242|243|244|245|246|247|248|249|250|251|252|253|254|255|256|257|258|259|260|261|262|263|264|265|266|267|268|269|270|271|272|273|274|275|276|277|278|279|280|281|282|283|284|285|286|287|288|289|290|291|292|293|294|295|296|297|298|299|300|301|302|303|304|305|306|307|308|309|310|311|312|313|314|315|316|317|318|319|320|321|322|323|324|325|326|327|328|329|330|331|332|333|334|335|336|337|338|339|340|341|342|343|344|345|346|347|348|349|350|351|352|353|354|355|356|357|358|359|360|361|362|363|364|365|366|367|368|369|370|371|372|373|374|375|376|377|378|379|380|381|382|383|384|385|386|387|388|389|390|391|392|393|394|395|396|397|398|399|400)b
Final example: Four digits, mirrored around zero, that does not end with zeros.
Rule: Must be between -2055 and 2055

Final note
Depending on what you are capturing, it is likely that all sub-groups should be made into non-capture groups. For example, this:
(-?b(?:20(?:5[0-5]|[0-4][0-9])|1?[0-9]{1,3})b)
Instead of this:
-?b(20(5[0-5]|[0-4][0-9])|1?[0-9]{1,3})b

So many answers, but noone reads (or cares) about the OPs side question in the comments?
I'm writing an interpreter in OCaml .... how can i validate the input number within the range without using regex ?? – Trung Nguyen Mar 2 at 17:30
As so many answers - correctly - pointed out that using regex is horrible for this scenario, lets think about other ways in OCaml! It is a while since I used OCaml, but with looking up a few constructs I was able to knock this together:
let isInRange i =
not(i < -2055 or i > 2055);;
let isIntAndInRange s =
try
let i = int_of_string s in
not(i < -2055 or i > 2055)
with Failure "int_of_string" -> false;;
let () = print_string "type a number: " in
let s = read_line () in
isIntAndInRange s
If anything about is unclear, please read up on its syntax, type conversion functions and exception handling and input-output functions.
The user input part is only used to demonstrate. It might be more convenient to use the read_int function there. But the basic concept of handling the exception stays the same.
