Regex expression validation is not working

[snow57]

Hi, 

The regex validation in the below code is not working. could someone please help me on this .

var nonPrint = "123Test*input";
gs.print('nonPrint1'+nonPrint);
var regex =/^[0-9][0-9]*$/;
var s = nonPrint.replace(regex, '_');
gs.print('nonPrint2' + s);

Appreciate for the leads.

Thanks

@snow57 Try the following.

var nonPrint = "123Test*input";
gs.print('nonPrint1 '+nonPrint);
var regex =/^[0-9][0-9]*/;
var s = nonPrint.replace(regex, '_');
gs.print('nonPrint2 ' + s);

Here is the output.

*** Script: nonPrint1 123Test*input
*** Script: nonPrint2 _Test*input

Hope this helps.

Hi Sandeep,

Thanks for assisting. it has to replace the "*" too right ?

I removed the $ in regular expression as it forcefully asserts the position at the end. Hence the string was failing. Please mark the answer correct and helpful if it manages to address your requirement.
