Question

Regular expression for height(cm)/weight(kg) in asp.net

Answer 1

+1 A:

The basic regular expressions are quite straight forward:

\d{2,3}\.\d{,2}

will match the height (any number of decimal digits followed by a decimal point followed by exactly 2 digits and:

\d{2,3}\.\d{,3}

will match the weight. Having said that, depending on where the input comes from they will match other things too (e.g. bits of ip addresses) so I would add more context to the expression. You should also check how exact weights are represented. Is 57 kg shown as 57, 57.0, or 57.000 (the expression above will only match the latter.

here user will input the height and weight the value can beHeight: 57,57.55 or 150,150.55Weight: 77,77.55,77.565 or 150,150.77,150.777

Ok, I've updated the regular expressions in the answer. This (obviously) won't be able to tell the difference between height or weight (is 150.55 a weight or a height) so you'll need to know this by searching for the units or knowing something else about the input.

Lol, dude. This requires some mind reading hardware or - easier to construct - hardware reading the intention from an eye pupil ;PPFrom the heart rate you could also conclude, if someone lies about their age/weight.

@Andrew Walker that expression not sutiable for height format like 55,55.5 etc...it only accepts 55.55, just thnk abt the format, the units all not need to be specified... here if user types any other formats it should be rejected..only the specified format should be accpeted

Answer 2

+1 A:

\d+(\.\d{1,3})?

should work

@agsamek it work for the case 55.55 like after (.) cases but the first section ie max of only 3 values can come before dot(.)
