Validate decimal numbers in JavaScript – IsNumeric()
.* If the users want to give you their phone numbers, then trust them to get it right. If they do not want to give it to you then forcing them to enter a valid number will either send them to a competitor’s site or make them enter a random string that fits your regex. … Read more
Using regular expressions is probably the best way. You can see a bunch of tests here (taken from chromium) const validateEmail = (email) => { return String(email) .toLowerCase() .match( /^(([^<>()[\]\\.,;:\s@”]+(\.[^<>()[\]\\.,;:\s@”]+)*)|(“.+”))@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\])|(([a-zA-Z\-0-9]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}))$/ ); }; Here’s the example of a regular expression that accepts unicode: const re = /^(([^<>()[\]\.,;:\s@\”]+(\.[^<>()[\]\.,;:\s@\”]+)*)|(\”.+\”))@(([^<>()[\]\.,;:\s@\”]+\.)+[^<>()[\]\.,;:\s@\”]{2,})$/i; But keep in mind that one should not rely … Read more
It drops the students table. The original code in the school’s program probably looks something like q = “INSERT INTO Students VALUES (‘” + FNMName.Text + “‘, ‘” + LName.Text + “‘)”; This is the naive way to add text input into a query, and is very bad, as you will see. After the values … Read more
The fully RFC 822 compliant regex is inefficient and obscure because of its length. Fortunately, RFC 822 was superseded twice and the current specification for email addresses is RFC 5322. RFC 5322 leads to a regex that can be understood if studied for a few minutes and is efficient enough for actual use. One RFC … Read more
You’ve already got a working answer but just in case you are curious what was wrong with your original approach, the answer is that you need parentheses around your alternation otherwise the (\.|$) is only required if the number is less than 200. ‘\b((25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)(\.|$)){4}\b’ ^ ^
