NAME Regexp::NumRange - Create Regular Expressions for numeric ranges VERSION Version 0.02 SYNOPSIS Regexp::NumRange is a package for generating regular expression strings. These strings can be used in a regular expression to correctly match numeric strings within only a specified range. Example Usage: use Test::More; use Regexp::NumRange qw/ rx_max /; my $rx = rx_max(255); like '100', qr/^$rx$/, '100 is less than 255'; unlike '256', qr/^$rx$/, '256 is greater tha 255'; EXPORT Exports Available: use Regexp::NumRange qw/ rx_max rx_range /; SUBROUTINES/METHODS rx_range Create a regex string between two abitrary integers. use Test::More; use Regexp::NumRange qw/ rx_range /; my $string = rx_range(256, 1024); my $rx = qr/^$string$/; ok "10" !~ $rx; ok "300" =~ $rx; ok "2000" !~ $rx; rx_max Create a regex string between 0 and an abitrary integer. my $rx_string = rx_max(1024); # create a string matching numbers between 0 and 1024 is $rx_string, '(102[0-4]|10[0-1][0-9]|0?[0-9]{1,3})'; SEE ALSO Regexp::Common::number - more variations, but restricted to number of digit matching http://dev.perl.org/perl6/rfc/197.html - same goal, but for perl6!
