Ok, here's what I've got so far before my meeting: ^[0-9\.-][0-9\.]*
That says: start with a single character that is numeric, a period or a negative, then followed by any number of characters that is numeric or a period. This seems to completely match 0.34, -0.34, -.34, .34 but fail for .3-4, Q34 etc. Judah On Wed, Apr 20, 2011 at 9:37 AM, G Money <gm0n3...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On Wed, Apr 20, 2011 at 11:35 AM, Judah McAuley <ju...@wiredotter.com>wrote: > >> >> Hmm...would you want to make sure that there is a number between the >> dash and period?
