shortyfw06 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I am trying to modify the following regular expression, which is for integers either negative or positive.
$_[0] =~ /^(?:|-|\d+|-\d+)$/
I'd like the regular expression to also capture floating point values either negative or positive. I thought this would work but it is not.
$_[0] =~ /^(?:|-|\d+|-\d+|\d+\.\d+|-\d+\.\d+)$/
