Question

I need to validate and input string client side.

Here is an example of the string:

1:30-1:34, 1:20-1:22, 1:30-1:37, 

It’s basically time codes for a video.

Can this be done with regex?

Banging my head against the wall…

Answer 1

The following is a simple representation. I have assumed that the string has the exact same form as you have shown. This may be a good starting point for you. I’ll improve the regex if you provide more specific requirements.

([0-9]+:[0-9]{1,2}-[0-9]+:[0-9]{1,2},\w*)+

Explanation (inspired from Tim above)

[0-9]+   #One ore more digits
:      # A colon
[0-9]{1,2}  #A single digit or a pair of digits
–       #A dash
,       #A comma
\w*      #Optional whitespace
