Theo, Oliver,

> Any reason why you don't like  ~ '^([0-9]?)+\.?[0-9]*$' ?

Yes, because it also matches "." , which is not a valid numeric value.

>  ~ '^([0-9]+|[0-9]+\\.[0-9]*|[0-9]*\\.[0-9]+)$'

Ah, the brute force approach ;-)

Actually, the above could be written:

~ '^([0-9]+)|([0-9]*\\.[0-9]+)$'

... though that still seems inelegant to me.  Is there a regex expert in the 
house?
