ValidationExpression

[metridevkk]

Hi,
I have attached a RegularExpressionValidator Control to a textbox to accept
numeric values in the format:

###*#####*##

I have entered the following regex in the ValidationExpression:

[0-9]{3}\*[0-9]{5}\*[0-9]{2}
or
[0-9]{3}[\*][0-9]{5}[\*][0-9]{2}

but validator fails to validate an input such as:

111*11111*11

Could someone please guide me on what is wrong in the regular expression
that i have specified?

Thanks.

\d{3}*\d{5}*\d{2}

Interestingly, my expression:

[0-9]{3}\*[0-9]{5}\*[0-9]{2}

worked on another machine. But on my machine it does not validate the input
in the browser. Vey wierd.

I tried your expression on my machine, but the validator(at design time)
wouldn't accept & said "Invalid property value: \d{3}*\d{5}*\d{2} is not a
valid regular expression". Mayme it will work on the other machine. If so,
then something wrong on my machine only.

Thanks

\d{3}*\d{5}*\d{2}

Sorry about that. The asterisk char needs to be escaped because it is a
reserved char. This works:

\d{3}\*\d{5}\*\d{2}
