Ok... I think I have it now: ^(100|\d{0,2})(\.\d{1,4})? *%?$ so it may start with either "100" or a 2 digit number. that should do the trick

Oops... sorry for the quick question as I have figured this out only fractions of a second later.... this will do: ^1?\d{0,2}(\.\d{1,4})? *%?$ so by simply adding the "1?" in the beginning it allows a 1 in front of the expression. hmmm... but thinking about this, it now also allows values up to 199.9999 which is not really desirable... :(

This seems to be the only regexp which is working for me as it seems, and I would need one which allows 100%

That's because the expression only allows for a value of 2 digits before the decimal. It can be easily expanded to allow any percentage above 99.999. But that raises the question of *if* if needs to allow for percentages over 100% or not. Let me know what you all think and I'll make the changes.

When tested in an ASP.NET regular expression validator control, it does not match the value "100%"
