Regex for Validating "Корп 1, стр 3"
1. Clear Understanding of Requirements
The task is to create a regex that will validate a string in the format of "Корп [number], стр [number]".
- "Корп" is in Cyrillic.
- The numbers can be one or more digits.
- The phrase has a comma followed by a space before "стр".
2. Key Elements Identification
- Fixed text: "Корп" and "стр".
- Number: One or more digits (0-9).
- Special characters: Comma and space separating the two parts.
3. Constructing the Regular Expression
The regex needs to represent the pattern described. Here’s how we can construct it:
Корп
matches the literal string "Корп".\s?
allows for an optional space character.\d+
matches one or more digits, representing the number.- A comma followed by a space
,\s
is used to separate "Корп" and "стр". стр
matches the literal string "стр".- Again,
\s?
allows for an optional space before the next digit. - Another
\d+
matches the number after "стр".
Final Regex
^Корп\s*\d+,\s*стр\s*\d+$
4. Explanation of Components
^
asserts the start of the string.Корп
matches the literal text.\s*
allows for zero or more whitespace characters.\d+
matches one or more digits (1-9).,
matches the literal comma character.\s*
allows for zero or more whitespace characters after the comma.стр
matches the literal text.\s*
allows for zero or more whitespace characters before the number after "стр".\d+
matches one or more digits at the end.$
asserts the end of the string.
5. Testing and Validation
You can test this regex in any programming language that supports regex, such as Python, JavaScript, or Java. Here’s a quick example in Python:
import re
pattern = r'^Корп\s*\d+,\s*стр\s*\d+$'
test_strings = ["Корп 1, стр 3", "Корп 10, стр 24", "Корп 2,стр 5"]
for s in test_strings:
if re.match(pattern, s):
print(f"Valid: {s}")
else:
print(f"Invalid: {s}")
6. Usage Guidance
- Implement this regex in your preferred programming environment.
- Ensure the regex engine you are using supports Unicode if you're working with Cyrillic characters.
- Adjust any white spaces (
\s*
) based on your specific formatting needs in the string.
