NAME

       Regexp::Common::number -- provide regexes for numbers

SYNOPSIS

	   use Regexp::Common qw /number/;

	   while (<>) {
	       /^$RE{num}{int}$/		and  print "Integer
";
	       /^$RE{num}{real}$/		and  print "Real
";
	       /^$RE{num}{real}{-base => 16}$/	and  print "Hexadecimal real
";
	   }

DESCRIPTION

       Please consult the manual of Regexp::Common for a general description of the works of this interface.

       Do not use this module directly, but load it via Regexp::Common.

   $RE{num}{int}{-base}{-sep}{-group}{-places}{-sign}
       Returns a pattern that matches an integer.

       If "-base => B" is specified, the integer is in base B, with "2 <= B <= 36". For bases larger than 10, upper case letters are used. The
       default base is 10.

       If "-sep => P" is specified, the pattern P is required as a grouping marker within the number. If this option is not given, no grouping
       marker is used.

       If "-group => N" is specified, digits between grouping markers must be grouped in sequences of exactly N digits. The default value of N is
       3.  If "-group => N,M" is specified, digits between grouping markers must be grouped in sequences of at least N digits, and at most M
       digits. This option is ignored unless the "-sep" option is used.

       If "-places => N" is specified, the integer recognized must be exactly N digits wide. If "-places => N,M" is specified, the integer must be
       at least N wide, and at most M characters. There is no default, which means that integers are unlimited in size. This option is ignored if
       the "-sep" option is used.

       If "-sign => P" is used, it's a pattern the leading sign has to match. This defaults to "[-+]?", which means the number is optionally
       preceded by a minus or a plus. If you want to match unsigned integers, use $RE{num}{int}{-sign => ''}.

       For example:

	$RE{num}{int}			       # match 1234567
	$RE{num}{int}{-sep=>','}	       # match 1,234,567
	$RE{num}{int}{-sep=>',?'}	       # match 1234567 or 1,234,567
	$RE{num}{int}{-sep=>'.'}{-group=>4}    # match 1.2345.6789

       Under "-keep" (see Regexp::Common):

       $1  captures the entire number

       $2  captures the optional sign of the number

       $3  captures the complete set of digits

   $RE{num}{real}{-base}{-radix}{-places}{-sep}{-group}{-expon}
       Returns a pattern that matches a floating-point number.

       If "-base=N" is specified, the number is assumed to be in that base (with A..Z representing the digits for 11..36). By default, the base is
       10.

       If "-radix=P" is specified, the pattern P is used as the radix point for the number (i.e. the "decimal point" in base 10). The default is
       "qr/[.]/".

       If "-places=N" is specified, the number is assumed to have exactly N places after the radix point.  If "-places=M,N" is specified, the
       number is assumed to have between M and N places after the radix point.	By default, the number of places is unrestricted.

       If "-sep=P" specified, the pattern P is required as a grouping marker within the pre-radix section of the number. By default, no separator
       is allowed.

       If "-group=N" is specified, digits between grouping separators must be grouped in sequences of exactly N characters. The default value of N
       is 3.

       If "-expon=P" is specified, the pattern P is used as the exponential marker.  The default value of P is "qr/[Ee]/".

       If "-sign=P" is specified, the pattern P is used to match the leading sign (and the sign of the exponent). This defaults to "[-+]?", means
       means that an optional plus or minus sign can be used.

       For example:

	$RE{num}{real}			# matches 123.456 or -0.1234567
	$RE{num}{real}{-places=>2}	# matches 123.45 or -0.12
	$RE{num}{real}{-places=>'0,3'}	# matches 123.456 or 0 or 9.8
	$RE{num}{real}{-sep=>'[,.]?'}	# matches 123,456 or 123.456
	$RE{num}{real}{-base=>3'}	# matches 121.102

       Under "-keep":

       $1  captures the entire match

       $2  captures the optional sign of the number

       $3  captures the complete mantissa

       $4  captures the whole number portion of the mantissa

       $5  captures the radix point

       $6  captures the fractional portion of the mantissa

       $7  captures the optional exponent marker

       $8  captures the entire exponent value

       $9  captures the optional sign of the exponent

       $10 captures the digits of the exponent

   $RE{num}{dec}{-radix}{-places}{-sep}{-group}{-expon}
       A synonym for $RE{num}{real}{-base=>10}{...}

   $RE{num}{oct}{-radix}{-places}{-sep}{-group}{-expon}
       A synonym for $RE{num}{real}{-base=>8}{...}

   $RE{num}{bin}{-radix}{-places}{-sep}{-group}{-expon}
       A synonym for $RE{num}{real}{-base=>2}{...}

   $RE{num}{hex}{-radix}{-places}{-sep}{-group}{-expon}
       A synonym for $RE{num}{real}{-base=>16}{...}

   $RE{num}{decimal}{-base}{-radix}{-places}{-sep}{-group}
       The same as $RE{num}{real}, except that an exponent isn't allowed.  Hence, this returns a pattern matching decimal numbers.

       If "-base=N" is specified, the number is assumed to be in that base (with A..Z representing the digits for 11..36). By default, the base is
       10.

       If "-radix=P" is specified, the pattern P is used as the radix point for the number (i.e. the "decimal point" in base 10). The default is
       "qr/[.]/".

       If "-places=N" is specified, the number is assumed to have exactly N places after the radix point.  If "-places=M,N" is specified, the
       number is assumed to have between M and N places after the radix point.	By default, the number of places is unrestricted.

       If "-sep=P" specified, the pattern P is required as a grouping marker within the pre-radix section of the number. By default, no separator
       is allowed.

       If "-group=N" is specified, digits between grouping separators must be grouped in sequences of exactly N characters. The default value of N
       is 3.

       For example:

	$RE{num}{decimal}		   # matches 123.456 or -0.1234567
	$RE{num}{decimal}{-places=>2}	   # matches 123.45 or -0.12
	$RE{num}{decimal}{-places=>'0,3'}  # matches 123.456 or 0 or 9.8
	$RE{num}{decimal}{-sep=>'[,.]?'}   # matches 123,456 or 123.456
	$RE{num}{decimal}{-base=>3'}	   # matches 121.102

       Under "-keep":

       $1  captures the entire match

       $2  captures the optional sign of the number

       $3  captures the complete mantissa

       $4  captures the whole number portion of the mantissa

       $5  captures the radix point

       $6  captures the fractional portion of the mantissa

   $RE{num}{square}
       Returns a pattern that matches a (decimal) square. Because Perl's arithmetic is lossy when using integers over about 53 bits, this pattern
       only recognizes numbers less than 9000000000000000, if one uses a Perl that is configured to use 64 bit integers. Otherwise, the limit is
       2147483647. These restrictions were introduced in versions 2.116 and 2.117 of Regexp::Common. Regardless whether "-keep" was set, the
       matched number will be returned in $1.

       This pattern is available for version 5.008 and up.

   $RE{num}{roman}
       Returns a pattern that matches an integer written in Roman numbers.  Case doesn't matter. Only the more modern style, that is, no more than
       three repetitions of a letter, is recognized. The largest number matched is MMMCMXCIX, or 3999. Larger numbers cannot be expressed using
       ASCII characters. A future version will be able to deal with the Unicode symbols to match larger Roman numbers.

       Under "-keep", the number will be captured in $1.
