Question

What's the Regular Expression that matches culture names?

Answer 1

+6 A:

Try this:

^[a-z]{2}-[A-Z]{2}$

Or more general (see RFC 4647):

^[A-Za-z]{1,8}(-[A-Za-z0-9]{1,8})*$

Thanks! Unfortunately my ASP.NET MVC2 route doesn't work anyway :/

@Rodrigo Waltenberg: Note that `^` and `$` mark the begin and end of the string respectively. Maybe you need that regular expression without these anchors.

Answer 2

A:

@Gumbo is right. A test:

In [1]: import re

In [2]: reg = re.compile("^[a-z]{2}-[A-Z]{2}$")

In [3]: url = 'en-US'

In [4]: m = reg.match(url)

the result shows that it Matched.
