Regex that accepts only numbers (0-9) and NO characters [duplicate]
Your regex ^[0-9]
matches anything beginning with a digit, including strings like "1A". To avoid a partial match, append a $
to the end:
^[0-9]*$
This accepts any number of digits, including none. To accept one or more digits, change the *
to +
. To accept exactly one digit, just remove the *
.
UPDATE: You mixed up the arguments to IsMatch
. The pattern should be the second argument, not the first:
if (!System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.IsMatch(textbox.Text, "^[0-9]*$"))
CAUTION: In JavaScript, \d
is equivalent to [0-9]
, but in .NET, \d
by default matches any Unicode decimal digit, including exotic fare like ႒ (Myanmar 2) and ߉ (N'Ko 9). Unless your app is prepared to deal with these characters, stick with [0-9]
(or supply the RegexOptions.ECMAScript flag).
