Comma separated Numeric input validation
Hi,

I guess the requirement is not clear. Let me give you more description.

Firstly, I am expecting a regular expression in UNIX.

The script reads the column positions using "read col".Now when prompted to provide the values, the user should enter the required field no.'s of a file in the format 1,3,4,..n (no. of fields that a user enters is not known).
As the column no.'s should b only numbers and cannot contain any non-numeric input, the patterns like 1,a,3 or 1,4,b..or with any other special characters needs to be rejected.
I can validate the input for 2 numbers, using the regular expression
"^[0-9],[0-9]$". But, couldn't make this work for n(unknown count) of numbers.
Please let me know, how we can resolve this.

TIA
