Validation - is numeric, is currency

[peterk900]

Is the Is Numeric validation plug in still available and, if so, where can it be downloaded ?

I tried to use the regular expression validation with /^[0-9]([.,][0-9]{1,3})?$/ as below - but although the validation appears to be set up correctly, every number I enter is rejected.




I also tried /^[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{4}|[0-9]{10}|[(][0-9]{3}[)][0-9]{3}-[0-9]{4}$/ from the Wiki which apparently should allow a string of numbers but this also fails.

What am I doing wrong ? Thanks.

I managed to solve this via php validation:

Currency


Numeric



If someone can tell me why my use of the Regular Expression plug-in failed that would be great - though I suppose the php route is better as it is more powerful and can include regular expressions as shown above.

Thanks for following up with your solution.

I'm not sure why the RE's didn't work, they look OK to me, but RE's can be a bit persnickety.

Thanks hugh - only too pleased to report back when I manage to solve a problem ! I'll do some more experiments with some RE's and post again if I get an expression to work.
