Match number with no decimal and greater than 10,000

I am not very familiar with regex and am trying to create a regex code in JavaScript to match a string with only
whole numbers
no decimals/dots
and should be greater than 10,000
So far I have it like the ff. I think I am missing something as it still read through decimal numbers and == 10,000. How do I do that?
[1-9](?!\.)\d[0-9]{3,}
https://regex101.com/r/hG2iU7/61

At the risk of not directly answering the question, JavaScript can already parse numbers. Why bother trying to reimplement this? Especially with RegExp?
Why not just parseFloat(theString) or Number(theString) the entire string?
It will fail/return NaN if what you have isn't a number, and you can test for this with isNaN.
If it doesn't fail, you can then test it to ensure that it's an integral value:
const isIntegral = Math.trunc(theNumber) === theNumber;
and is less than 10000
const isLessThan10000 = theNumber < 10000;
This code is going to be much easier to read and maintain than a regular expression.

You may use
^[1-9][0-9]{4,}$
To exclude 10000 add a (?!10000$) lookahead:
^(?!10000$)[1-9][0-9]{4,}$
^^^^^^^^^^
See the regex demo and the regex graph:
Details
^ - start of string
(?!10000$) - a negative lookahead that cancels the match if the whole string is equal to 10000 (i.e. after start of string (^), there is 10000 and then end of string position follows ($))
[1-9] - a digit from 1 to 9
[0-9]{4,} - any four or more digits
$ - end of string.

How do I combine 2 regex patterns into 1 and use it within a function

I have a regEx for checking a number is less than 15 significant figures, Borrowed from this SO answer
/^-?(?=\d{1,15}(?:[.,]0+)?0*$|(?:(?=.{1,16}0*$)(?:\d+[.,]\d+)‌​)).+$/
The the other is used to check that same number is upto 2 decimal places(truncate)
/^-?(\d*\.?\d{0,2}).*/
I have almost 0 regex skill.
Question: How do I combine the 2 regexes to do the work of both, AND not just either OR( accomplished by | character - i am not sure if it achieves same function as combining both)
something like:
/^-?(?=\d{1,15}(?:[.,]0+)?0*$|(?:(?=.{1,16}0*$)(?:\d+[.,]\d+)‌​)).+$ <AND&&NOTOR>(\d*\.?\d{0,2}).*/
Thanks in advance
EDIT: edit moved to a seperate SO question

If you add only one condition of maximum 2 decimal places to first regex, try this..
^-?(?=\d{1,15}(?:[.,]0+)?0*$|(?:(?=[,.\d]{1,16}0*$)(?:\d+[.,]\d{1,2}$))).+$
Demo,,, in which I only changed original \d+ to d{1,2}$
Edited for the reguest to extract 15 significant figures and capture group 1 ($1). Try this which is wrapped to capture group 1 ($1) and limited 15 significant figures to be extracted easily.
^(-?(?=\d{1,15}(?:[.,]0+)?0*$|(?:(?=[,.\d]{1,16}0*$)(?:\d+[.,]\d{1,2}$))).{1,16}).*$
Demo,,, in which changed to .{1,16} from .+$.
If the number matches, then able to be replaced $1, but if not so, replaced nothing, thus remains original unmatched number.
Therefore, if you want to extract 15 significant figures by replacing with $1 only when your condition is satisfied, try this regex to your function.
^(-?(?=\d{1,15}(?:[.,]0+)?0*$|(?:(?=[,.\d]{1,16}0*$)(?:\d+[.,]\d{1,2}$))).{1,16}).*$|^.*$
Demo,,, in which all numbers are matched, but only the numbers satisfying your condition are captured to $1 in format of 15 significant figures.

RegEx to filter out all but one decimal point [duplicate]

i need a regular expression for decimal/float numbers like 12 12.2 1236.32 123.333 and +12.00 or -12.00 or ...123.123... for using in javascript and jQuery.
Thank you.

Optionally match a + or - at the beginning, followed by one or more decimal digits, optional followed by a decimal point and one or more decimal digits util the end of the string:
/^[+-]?\d+(\.\d+)?$/
RegexPal

The right expression should be as followed:
[+-]?([0-9]*[.])?[0-9]+
this apply for:
+1
+1.
+.1
+0.1
1
1.
.1
0.1
Here is Python example:
import re
#print if found
print(bool(re.search(r'[+-]?([0-9]*[.])?[0-9]+', '1.0')))
#print result
print(re.search(r'[+-]?([0-9]*[.])?[0-9]+', '1.0').group(0))
Output:
True
1.0
If you are using mac, you can test on command line:
python -c "import re; print(bool(re.search(r'[+-]?([0-9]*[.])?[0-9]+', '1.0')))"
python -c "import re; print(re.search(r'[+-]?([0-9]*[.])?[0-9]+', '1.0').group(0))"

You can check for text validation and also only one decimal point validation using isNaN
var val = $('#textbox').val();
var floatValues = /[+-]?([0-9]*[.])?[0-9]+/;
if (val.match(floatValues) && !isNaN(val)) {
// your function
}

This is an old post but it was the top search result for "regular expression for floating point" or something like that and doesn't quite answer _my_ question. Since I worked it out I will share my result so the next person who comes across this thread doesn't have to work it out for themselves.
All of the answers thus far accept a leading 0 on numbers with two (or more) digits on the left of the decimal point (e.g. 0123 instead of just 123) This isn't really valid and in some contexts is used to indicate the number is in octal (base-8) rather than the regular decimal (base-10) format.
Also these expressions accept a decimal with no leading zero (.14 instead of 0.14) or without a trailing fractional part (3. instead of 3.0). That is valid in some programing contexts (including JavaScript) but I want to disallow them (because for my purposes those are more likely to be an error than intentional).
Ignoring "scientific notation" like 1.234E7, here is an expression that meets my criteria:
/^((-)?(0|([1-9][0-9]*))(\.[0-9]+)?)$/
or if you really want to accept a leading +, then:
/^((\+|-)?(0|([1-9][0-9]*))(\.[0-9]+)?)$/
I believe that regular expression will perform a strict test for the typical integer or decimal-style floating point number.
When matched:
$1 contains the full number that matched
$2 contains the (possibly empty) leading sign (+/-)
$3 contains the value to the left of the decimal point
$5 contains the value to the right of the decimal point, including the leading .
By "strict" I mean that the number must be the only thing in the string you are testing.
If you want to extract just the float value out of a string that contains other content use this expression:
/((\b|\+|-)(0|([1-9][0-9]*))(\.[0-9]+)?)\b/
Which will find -3.14 in "negative pi is approximately -3.14." or in "(-3.14)" etc.
The numbered groups have the same meaning as above (except that $2 is now an empty string ("") when there is no leading sign, rather than null).
But be aware that it will also try to extract whatever numbers it can find. E.g., it will extract 127.0 from 127.0.0.1.
If you want something more sophisticated than that then I think you might want to look at lexical analysis instead of regular expressions. I'm guessing one could create a look-ahead-based expression that would recognize that "Pi is 3.14." contains a floating point number but Home is 127.0.0.1. does not, but it would be complex at best. If your pattern depends on the characters that come after it in non-trivial ways you're starting to venture outside of regular expressions' sweet-spot.

Paulpro and lbsweek answers led me to this:
re=/^[+-]?(?:\d*\.)?\d+$/;
>> /^[+-]?(?:\d*\.)?\d+$/
re.exec("1")
>> Array [ "1" ]
re.exec("1.5")
>> Array [ "1.5" ]
re.exec("-1")
>> Array [ "-1" ]
re.exec("-1.5")
>> Array [ "-1.5" ]
re.exec(".5")
>> Array [ ".5" ]
re.exec("")
>> null
re.exec("qsdq")
>> null

For anyone new:
I made a RegExp for the E scientific notation (without spaces).
const floatR = /^([+-]?(?:[0-9]+(?:\.[0-9]+)?|\.[0-9]+)(?:[eE][+-]?[0-9]+)?)$/;
let str = "-2.3E23";
let m = floatR.exec(str);
parseFloat(m[1]); //=> -2.3e+23
If you prefer to use Unicode numbers, you could replace all [0-9] by \d in the RegExp.
And possibly add the Unicode flag u at the end of the RegExp.
For a better understanding of the pattern see https://regexper.com/.
And for making RegExp, I can suggest https://regex101.com/.
EDIT: found another site for viewing RegExp in color: https://jex.im/regulex/.
EDIT 2: although op asks for RegExp specifically you can check a string in JS directly:
const isNum = (num)=>!Number.isNaN(Number(num));
isNum("123.12345678E+3");//=> true
isNum("80F");//=> false
converting the string to a number (or NaN) with Number()
then checking if it is NOT NaN with !Number.isNaN()

If you want it to work with e, use this expression:
[+-]?[0-9]+([.][0-9]+)?([eE][+-]?[0-9]+)?
Here is a JavaScript example:
var re = /^[+-]?[0-9]+([.][0-9]+)?([eE][+-]?[0-9]+)?$/;
console.log(re.test('1'));
console.log(re.test('1.5'));
console.log(re.test('-1'));
console.log(re.test('-1.5'));
console.log(re.test('1E-100'));
console.log(re.test('1E+100'));
console.log(re.test('.5'));
console.log(re.test('foo'));

Here is my js method , handling 0s at the head of string
1- ^0[0-9]+\.?[0-9]*$ : will find numbers starting with 0 and followed by numbers bigger than zero before the decimal seperator , mainly ".". I put this to distinguish strings containing numbers , for example, "0.111" from "01.111".
2- ([1-9]{1}[0-9]\.?[0-9]) : if there is string starting with 0 then the part which is bigger than 0 will be taken into account. parentheses are used here because I wanted to capture only parts conforming to regex.
3- ([0-9]\.?[0-9]): to capture only the decimal part of the string.
In Javascript , st.match(regex), will return array in which first element contains conformed part. I used this method in the input element's onChange event , by this if the user enters something that violates the regex than violating part is not shown in element's value at all but if there is a part that conforms to regex , then it stays in the element's value.
const floatRegexCheck = (st) => {
const regx1 = new RegExp("^0[0-9]+\\.?[0-9]*$"); // for finding numbers starting with 0
let regx2 = new RegExp("([1-9]{1}[0-9]*\\.?[0-9]*)"); //if regx1 matches then this will remove 0s at the head.
if (!st.match(regx1)) {
regx2 = new RegExp("([0-9]*\\.?[0-9]*)"); //if number does not contain 0 at the head of string then standard decimal formatting takes place
}
st = st.match(regx2);
if (st?.length > 0) {
st = st[0];
}
return st;
}

Here is a more rigorous answer
^[+-]?0(?![0-9]).[0-9]*(?![.])$|^[+-]?[1-9]{1}[0-9]*.[0-9]*$|^[+-]?.[0-9]+$
The following values will match (+- sign are also work)
.11234
0.1143424
11.21
1.
The following values will not match
00.1
1.0.00
12.2350.0.0.0.0.
.
....
How it works
The (?! regex) means NOT operation
let's break down the regex by | operator which is same as logical OR operator
^[+-]?0(?![0-9]).[0-9]*(?![.])$
This regex is to check the value starts from 0
First Check + and - sign with 0 or 1 time ^[+-]
Then check if it has leading zero 0
If it has,then the value next to it must not be zero because we don't want to see 00.123 (?![0-9])
Then check the dot exactly one time and check the fraction part with unlimited times of digits .[0-9]*
Last, if it has a dot follow by fraction part, we discard it.(?![.])$
Now see the second part
^[+-]?[1-9]{1}[0-9]*.[0-9]*$
^[+-]? same as above
If it starts from non zero, match the first digit exactly one time and unlimited time follow by it [1-9]{1}[0-9]* e.g. 12.3 , 1.2, 105.6
Match the dot one time and unlimited digit follow it .[0-9]*$
Now see the third part
^[+-]?.{1}[0-9]+$
This will check the value starts from . e.g. .12, .34565
^[+-]? same as above
Match dot one time and one or more digits follow by it .[0-9]+$

Expression regular for check phone numbers at word level

I'm trying to write a RegEx to test if a number is valid and for valid I mean any number that matches country calling codes but also where the format of telephone numbers is standardized by ITU-T in the recommendation E.164. This specifies that the entire number should be 15 digits or shorter, and begin with a country prefix as said here so I did this:
^\+\d{2}|\d{3}([0-9])\d{7}$
But it's not working. In my case (VE numbers can't match the RegEx since this one are validated in another way) this input is valid:
+1420XXXXXXXXXXX // Slovakia - X is a digit and could be more, tough, 5 minimum
001420XXXXXXXXXX // Slovakia - I've changed from + to 00
420XXXXXXXXXXXXX // Slovakia - I've removed the 00 o + but number still being valid
+40XXXXXXXXXXXXX // Romania
Invalid numbers are the one that doesn't match the RegEx and the one started with +58 since they are from VE. So, resuming, a valid number should have:
+XX|+XXX plus 12|11 digits (5 minimum) where XX|XXX is the country code and then since maximum is 15 digits then should be 12 or 11 digits depending on the country format
Can any help me with this? It's a one I called complex

Few strange things going on with your regexp:
\d is shorthand for [0-9] - fine to use both, but I'm wondering why they're mixed
what you are searching with you OR (|) is "something that starts with +XX" i.e. plus and two numbers (^\+\d{2}) OR "something that ends with XXXXXXXXXXX" i.e. 11 numbers (\d{3}([0-9])\d{7}$)
You need to group (with brackets) the OR choices, otherwise it is everything to the left or everything to the right (simplistically)
^\+(\d{2}|\d{3})([0-9])\d{7}$
There is, however, another way of giving the number of occurrences : {m,n} means occurs between m and n times. So you could say ^\+\d{7,15}$ (where 7 is your minimum 5 + the minimum country code of 2).
To really do this, however, you might want to take a look here (https://code.google.com/p/libphonenumber/ 1) where there is a complete validation and formatting for all phone numbers available as javascript.

Cannot fathom out why Javascript regex not working

I want to validate some input to check that it is a positive currency value of the format:
0.5, 0.55, 5 (note this one), 5.5, 5.55, 55 etc etc.
The code that I'm using is:
if ($("#gross").val()>0 && !/^\d+?\.?\d?\d$/.test($("#gross").val())) {
alert($("#gross").val() + " is invalid currency");
}
It works for everything except a single digit, eg 5 (and 5.) but does work for 5.5.
What am I doing wrong?

You've forgotten to add a ? at the end, before the $. A better way of doing it would be the following:
/^\d+?\.?\d{0,2}$/
This checks that there are up to two decimal places for the number - if you'd like to check for any amount, you could use something like:
/^(?!\.$)(?:(?!0\d)(\d*)\.?(\d[0-9]*))$/
Note that it's a good idea to explicitly convert your string into a number, and also cache the value of #gross.
var grossVal = $("#gross").val();
if (+grossVal > 0 && !/^\d+?\.?\d{0,2}$/.test(grossVal)) {
alert(grossVal + " is invalid currency");
}

+? will match the fewest possible matches, in this case, 1 digit.
I think you're looking for something like:
/^\d+(\.\d{0,2})?$/
Which would be a series of digits, potentially followed by a decimal and anywhere between 0 to 2 digits.

Consider using alternation to break down a regular expression into the form a|b|c|d.
Then we can use several different forms, let:
a = 0 -- 0
b = [1-9]\d* -- n (non-zero integer), n cannot start with 0
c = 0[.]\d{1,2} -- 0.x or 0.xy
d = [1-9]\d*[.]\d{1,2} -- n.x or n.xy, n (non-zero integer)
This will allow us to reject values like 09 and 1., as they are not covered by any of the individual forms accepted.
