Question

I know this is probably quite straightforward but cannot seem to find an example of what I’m trying to do.

Matching from start of a string, i want to match building numbers.

i.e.

60 would match 60A and 60 but not 6000

likewise

1 would match 1 and 1ABC but not 11

/^1[^\0-9]*

is like what i need, matching 1 and any non numeric value any number of times. (granted this is from expresso – (.net) but it doesn’t work in there.

can anybody point me in the right direction?

thanks,

Sam

Answer 1

\0 means something else

/^1[^0-9]*/

0-9 is the same as \d

/^1[^\d]*/
