please help with my regular expression

[John Ferrier]

It make no difference. The following works:

<[0-9]+(\.[0-9]*)?([DEde][-+]?[0-9]*)?|[0-9]*\.[0-9]+([DEde][-+]?[0-9]*)?>

Thanks anyway.

John

You should not use <> as 'delimiters', because that would not work
with a '.' inside. Try this:

    (?<!\Y)[0-9]+(\.[0-9]*)?([DEde][-+]?[0-9]*)?|\.[0-9]+([DEde][-+]?[0-9]*)?(?!\Y)
