Decimal Number

Regular expression to capture a decimal number.

Usage

var RE_DECIMAL_NUMBER = require( '@stdlib/regexp/decimal-number' );

RE_DECIMAL_NUMBER

Regular expression to capture a decimal number.

var out = RE_DECIMAL_NUMBER.exec( 'beep 1.234 boop' ).slice();
// returns [ '1.234', '1.234' ]

out = RE_DECIMAL_NUMBER.exec( '' );
// returns null

Notes

• A leading digit is not required.

  var bool = RE_DECIMAL_NUMBER.test( '.5' );
  // returns true

• A decimal point and at least one trailing digit is required.

  var bool = RE_DECIMAL_NUMBER.test( '5.' );
  // returns false

• To capture all matches, create a new regular expression.

  var str = '1.234 5.67, 8.9';
  
  var RE = new RegExp( RE_DECIMAL_NUMBER.source, 'g' );
  
  var out = str.match( RE ).slice();
  // returns [ '1.234', '5.67', '8.9' ]
