I want to use regular expressions to check numeric ranges, I have come up with the following, and it works, but I was wondering whether there is an easier regex that can be constructed, one you look at and go "yes, I see that you want to check for a range"... <cfset string = "50" /> <p>Between 25 and 75</p> <cfoutput> <cfloop from="1" to="80" index="i"> #i# is #yesnoformat( refindnocase( "\b[3-7][0-5]|[3-6][0-9]|2[5-9]\b", i ) )#<br> </cfloop> </cfoutput> Also, to construct this regex took me a while, the logic I used to construct it was - first allow 3 to 7 in the ten range and 0 to 5 in the one range, allowing 30,31,32,33,34,35,40,41,42,43,44,45 ..... 75 - then allow 3-6 in the ten range and 0 to 9 in the one range, allowing 30,31,32,33,34,35,36,36,37,38,39,40,41 .... 69 - then allow the litteral 2 and 5-9 in the one range, allowing 25,26,27,28,29 Which covers the whole range I want to check for. Anyone? -- Taco Fleur Senior Web Systems Engineer http://www.webassociates.com <http://www.webassociates.com/>
