Regular Expresssion
-
Hi , I needed to verify that the last 4 digits in a number are 0000. The number was of format 999999-0000 so i checked with a regular expression @"\d-\(0){4}" but now the '-' will not be there and it always just a number with last 4 digits as 0 i.e 0000 I am unable to think of a regular expression to validate this string. any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I am unable to think of a regular expression to validate this string. any help will be greatly appreciated.This should have been asked in the Regular Expression forum. However, seeing that the question is here now, and seeing that I'm in a good mood, the regex for this is:
^(\d*(0){4})

Don't delete your posts! 0) There is a Regular Expression forum. 1) Have you tried Expresso? 2) Have you tried <a href="http://www.codeproject.com/KB/string/RegexTester\_.aspx">this</a>[<a href="http://www.codeproject.com/KB/string/RegexTester\_.aspx" target="_blank" title="New Window">^</a>]? I don't know why you would want to be capturing the zeroes if you just want to do validation. Did you intend to escape the hyphen (-) rather than the left-parenthesis (() ?

Unless of course you've come to realize that what you typed makes you look like a complete tool. There are exceptions to every rule. :)
