Title Test Find Currency
Expression
^(?!\u00a2) #Don't allow cent symbol \p{Sc}? #optional unicode currency symbols (?!0,?\d) #don't allow leading zero if 1 or more unit (\d{1,3} # 1 to 3 digits (\,\d{3})* # if the is a comma it must be followed by 3 digits |(\d+)) # more than 3 digit with no comma separator (\.\d{2})?$ # option cents
Description
This regex validates Currency. The base monetary unit (ex. US dollar) followed by option two digit cent denomination. Base unit can't have leading zero. Comma's are optional on base units. Note: Your regex engine must support the \p character class to use this. For example this will work in .net but not javascript which doesn't support \p Also the ¢ is removed from the match by force. Any other cent symbol would need to be added to the exclude to not match.
Matches
$1,501.13 | £215 | €4.93
Non-Matches
01.00 | $.00 | ¢50

Thanks Yes the Sc is the unicode currency property. The negative lookahead is to remove the unicode character(00a2) for the cent (¢) symbol, which is part of the currency group, to avoid patterns like ¢10.00 matching.

Michael, what's the negative lookahead character at the beginning: (?!\u00a2)? Also interesting to see the Unicode Property matching via the \p{Sc} notation... Sc represents "Currency" I presume?
