regex - 确保字符串是给定格式的正则表达式是什么？

Question

我对正则表达式非常不熟悉，所以我不知道从哪里开始。我需要将时间范围值存储在文件中。我想在保存之前根据正则表达式对其进行验证。

格式必须是：

00:00-00:00

其中数字的最小值可以为 0，最大值可以表示为

23:59-23:59

如何确保字符串与此约束匹配？

Answer 1

试试这个

\b((?:(?:[01][0-9]|2[0-3]):(?:[0-5][0-9]))-(?:(?:[01][0-9]|2[0-3]):(?:[0-5][0-9])))\b

\b                   # Assert position at a word boundary
