    <p>I am struggling to understand this simple regular expression. I have the following attempt:</p> <pre><code>[0-9]*\.?[0-9]* </code></pre> <p>I understand this as zero-to-many numeric digits, followed by one-to-zero periods and finally ending in zero-to-many numeric digits.</p> <p>I am not want to match anything other than exactly as above. I do not want positive/negative support or any other special support types. However, for some reason, the above also matches what appear to be random characters. All of the following for whatever reason match:</p> <ul> <li>f32</li> <li>32a</li> <li>32-</li> <li>=33</li> </ul> <p>In an answer, I am looking for:</p> <ul> <li>An explanation of why my regular expression does not work.</li> <li>A working version with an explanation of why it does work.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Edit</strong>: Due to what seems to be causing trouble, I have added the "QT" tag, that is the environment I am working with.</p> <p><strong>Edit</strong>: Due to continued confusion, I am going to add a bit of code. I am starting to think I am either misusing QT, or QT has a problem:</p> <pre><code>void subclassedQDialog::setupTxtFilters() { QRegExp numbers("^[-+]?[0-9]*\.?[0-9]+([eE][-+]?[0-9]+)?$"); txtToFilter-&gt;setValidator(new QRegExpValidator(numbers,this)); } </code></pre> <p>This is from within a subclassed QDialog. txtToFilter is a QLineEdit. I can provide more code if someone can suggest what may be relevant. While the expression above is not the original, it is one of the ones from comments below and also fails in the same way.</p>

    3. COI am using QT and a QRegExpValidator (http://developer.qt.nokia.com/doc/qt-4.8/qregexpvalidator.html) I was hoping this wouldn't be the issue :\

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
