Question

I need regex to check if a string contains 8 decimal digits or more. It can contain anything else and the digits don’t have to be consecutive.

Thanks in advance

EDIT: replaced “number” by “decimal digit” to match accepted answer.

Answer 1

/([^\d]*\d){8}/

Perhaps not the most elegant / efficient way to do it, but it works. Basically it will match eight decimals (optionally, with non-decimals between them). If there are more than eight, it will match too.

EDIT
As @Tomalak has pointed out, [^\d] equals \D by definition:

/(\D*\d){8}/
