I have a question about restricting the value entered in some input field. I would like to input this :
9digits-whatever, for example 101010101-Teststring.
I have come up with this regex as a solution, but it does not seem to be correct:
^\d{9}\-[a-zA-Z0-9_]*$
Any ideas on this one?
Thank you.
The below regex would match 9 digits follwed by -
and any number of characters.,
^\d{9}-.*$
If you want a minimum of one character followed by -
, then try the below regex.
^\d{9}-.+$
Explanation:
^
Asserts that we are at the beginning of the line.
\d{9}
Exactly 9 digits.
\-
Literal -
symbol.
.*
Matches any character zero or more times.
$
End of the line.
- There is no need to escape hyphen
-
.
- Use
\w
that include [a-zA-Z0-9_]
Try below regex if there is only [a-zA-Z0-9_]
after 9 digits and hyphen.
^\d{9}-\w*$
