Regular expression in selective match style is now working

[vikramreddy anthireddygari]

Noticed that virtual services are not matching the right transaction in the selective match style when one of the incoming arguments is set to a regular expression ([0-9]). The same transaction works when the value is set to anything instead of a regular expression.

any suggestion how can we pass value to regular expression in selective match ?

"instructedAmount": "10",

Thanks

Hi Vikram,

I've used the regular expression operator many times and always got it to
work, so we'll have to figure this one out.

Are you sure that the length of the incoming field is only one character
long? Maybe there are space after the digit?

You could try: [0-9]\s*
Or also: \d\s*

Cheers,

This worked , how can allow decimals as well in the same regular expression ?

Thanks

Hi Vikram,

Try this one: \d+(\.\d+)?\s*

It is one of the most simple ones. Maybe it satisfies your requirements?
There are different rules about what is accepted as a valid decimal number.
Example,

- .32 to be accepted? (decimal with no digit before the decimal point)
The above regex will not accept it.
- any number of digits after the decimal point to be accepted? For the
above, 123.1 will be accepted, but also 123.654321 will be accepted.


If the requirement would be to have always 2 digits (no more, no less)
after the decimal point then try this one: \d+(\.\d\d)?\s*
