I don't know how to write my own regex.
1 RULE: I want allow: a-z, A-Z, 0-9. new Regex("[^a-zA-Z0-9 -]");
2 RULE: I want allow char: +, -, |.
How can i combine 1st and 2nd rule?
[^] is a negated character class and will match every thing except those that comes after ^ inside character class.
You can put all the modifiers and patterns inside a character class:
"[a-zA-Z0-9|+-]"
But note that since - uses for character range inside a character class you need to put it at the end of other patterns or escape it.

Regular expression to validate numbers separated by commas or dashes [closed]
(2 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I have to write the Regex expression which accepts - and only numbers either single four digit number or two 4 digit numbers seperated by hyphen as shown below
2751, 2759-2764, 2766-2774, 2776-2777, 2890-2897
3945-3974, 3979, 3984-3999
I have used this Regex ^[0-9_,]+ but this line Regex.IsMatch(line, #"^[0-9_,]+$") returns false.
Regards,
Nagasree
The pattern that you tried is not matching as there is no hyphen or space in the character class. But when you would add those, the pattern still does not take any format into account.
You could match 4 digits with optional hyphen and 4 digits part. Then repeat that preceded by a space:
^[0-9]{4}(?:-[0-9]{4})?(?:, [0-9]{4}(?:-[0-9]{4})?)*$
Regex demo
var s = "2751, 2759-2764, 2766-2774, 2776-2777, 2890-2897";
Console.WriteLine(Regex.IsMatch(s, #"^[0-9]{4}(?:-[0-9]{4})?(?:, [0-9]{4}(?:-[0-9]{4})?)*$"));
Output
True

I'm studying a program written in c #.
I do not understand this regular expression, can you explain to me what it does?
Thank you
Match numberMatch = Regex.Match(patternOutput, "(#+)([\\.|,])(#+)");
https://regex101.com/ provides a convenient explanation to pretty much all possible kinds of regex syntaxes. In your case the regex matches a literal # character at the beginning, followed by one of the characters in the square brackets (each of them literally, where the backslash is escaped by another one): [\\.|,], so this will match either \, ., |, ,. And at the end follows one more # character.

I have some validation code that checks a string against a regular expression.
Regex regex = new Regex(RegexPattern);
if (!regex.IsMatch(value))
{
errorMessage = "The data is not in the correct format.";
return false;
}
If I set the regular expression pattern to ^[0-9]*.[0-9]*.[0-9]*.[0-9]*$, it correctly accepts 1.0.0.0; however, it also accepts 1.0.0..
How can I modify the pattern so that 1.0.0.0 is accepted but 1.0.0. is rejected?
[0-9]* means 0 or more occurrence of [0-9]
[0-9]+ means 1 or more occurrence of [0-9]
^[0-9]*.[0-9]*.[0-9]*.[0-9]*$
Change * to +:
^[0-9]+.[0-9]+.[0-9]+.[0-9]+$
Just a slight misunderstanding about * and +. The former accepts either no occurrences or more (>=0), the latter only matches if such vocabulary occurs at least once (>=1).
^[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+$
I usually also escape the dot for safety, not entirely sure if it's necessary but I still do it. :)
You can use this pattern:
^\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+$
Explanation:
^ - begin of string
\d - any digit
+ - at least one char
\. - exactly a dot char
$ - end of string
By the way, your input looks like an IP address. If so you can modify your reges like this:
^\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}$
{1,3} means: 'from 1 to 3 chars'
Demo: regex101
To match 4 sets of digits separated by a period
^\d+(?:\.\d+){3}$

I want to make sure a first name field has at least one alphanumeric character and also allow spaces and dashes.
**VALID**
David
Billie Joe
Han-So
**INVALID**
-
Empty is also invalid
To ensure the dashes and spaces happen in legitimate places, use this:
(?i)^[a-z]+(?:[ -]?[a-z]+)*$
See demo.
(?i) puts us in case-insensitive mode
^ ensures we're at the beginning of the string
[a-z]+ matches one or more letters
[ -]?[a-z]+ matches an optional single space or dash followed by letters...
(?:[ -]?[a-z]+)* and this is allowed zero or more times
$ asserts that we have reached the end of the string
You mentioned alphanumeric, so in case you also want to allow digits:
(?i)^[a-z0-9]+(?:[ -]?[a-z0-9]+)*$
use this pattern
^(?=.*[a-zA-Z])[a-zA-Z -]+$
Demo
oh, for alphanumeric use
^(?=.*[a-zA-Z0-9])[a-zA-Z 0-9-]+$

Regular expression to enforce complex passwords, matching 3 out of 4 rules
(4 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
My password strength criteria is as below :
Character length: 8 -> 24
Contains least 3 of following types:
Uppercase letter [A-Z]
Lowercase letter [a-z]
Numeric [0-9]
Special character ~`!##$%^&*()-_=+[{]}\|;:'"<,>.?/
Can anyone help me to make regular expression and explain. Thanks.
It would be very difficult to do in one regex. Personally, I'd check for each case separately and count if you've got three matches. It would be easier to read and maintain.
So match [A-Z] then [a-z] then [0-9] and finally [~`!##$%^&*()-_=+[{]}\|;:'"<,>.?/]
If you end up with a match in three of the tests that's success.
Use this Regex:
(?=.{8,24})(?=.*\d)(?=.*[A-Za-z])(?=.*[~`!##\$%\^&\*()_=\+[{\]}\|;:'"<,>\.\?/]).*
