Anyone care to correct this regex for PostgreSQL? It works in C++ but
Postgres have no love for it:
-{0,1}\d*\.{0,1}\d+\^{0,1}\d*\.{0,1}\d+
This regex accepts (any num)^(pos num) such as:
45.2^3
-45.2^3
10^2.5

It works fine in Postgres, AFAICT. Maybe you forgot to double the
backslashes in a string literal? Otherwise, be
In Postgres, it appears to be returning false positives:
select * from
(select '52'::varchar As val) d
where d.val ~ '-{0,1}\\d*\\.{0,1}\\d+\\^{0,1}\\d*\\.{0,1}\\d+'
returns a record.
In C++ only such values match: 45.2^3 or -45.2^3 or 10^2.5

You don't give a pg version.
It looks legal to me as of 8.1.
Try replacing all the {0,1} with ? - but
check the manual for regex_flavor too.
Is there any chance you're in basic mode?
