Regexp::NumRange - Create Regular Expressions for numeric ranges
VERSION
version 0.04
SYNOPSIS
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';
DESCRIPTION
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.
FUNCTIONS
rx_range
Create a regex string between two arbitrary 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 arbitrary 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})';
