Question

the url format is:
domain/startValue/endValue/content

here, startValue and endValue take either int or float numbers..

i tried:
/(\d+)/(\d+) which takes int values

and:

/(\d+\.\d+)/(\d+\.\d+) which takes float values

but don’t know how to put them together which takes both formats of numbers

tried:

 /(\d+)|(\d+\.\d+)/(\d+)|(\d+\.\d+)

was told by browser that url does not match view function parameters

thanks for any advice!

Answer 1

Since you’re alway starting with ints, simply make the float part optional using the ? regex operator, and use a non-capturing group:

intorfloat_re = "(\d+(?:\.\d+)?)"

..and use that string in your url definition.
