Regular expression [Any number]

Question

I need to test for "[any number]" in a string in javascript. how would i match it?

Oh, "[" and "]" also need to be matched.

so string like "[1]" or "[12345]" is a match.

Non match: "[23432" or "1]"

So for example:

$('.form .section .parent').find('input.text').each(function(index){       $(this).attr("name", $(this).attr("name").replace("[current]", "['"+index+"']")); }); 

I need to replace input fields name: "items[0].firstname" to "items[1].firstname" thanks

Answer 1

UPDATE: for your updated question

variable.match(/\[[0-9]+\]/); 

Try this:

variable.match(/[0-9]+/);    // for unsigned integers variable.match(/[-0-9]+/);   // for signed integers variable.match(/[-.0-9]+/);  // for signed float numbers 

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

if("123".search(/^\d+$/) >= 0){    // its a number }
