Computers & Internet - 19 September 2006

I'm a moderately advanced beginner with regex, and I've come up with this one I'm pretty sure will work, but I'd appreciate a proofreading before going live with it:
^[0-9, ]+$
It should match if the value is all numbers and/or spaces, but is it effecient as it could be?

Should I include dashes too?

And what if the value has no numbers? (I guess I could check first for all spaces & dashes and handle that case differently. No sense in telling the customer they've entered a CC# where it shouldn't be if they've not entered any digits.)

Thanks!

I have been told about Linux based OS ubuntu. I would like to know if there are any software compatibility issues with it. I myself would be forced to use Office for example and to be honest I am very used to MS software.

I would also like to know if there are any compatibility issues with software which says is reccomended to be used with Windows for example Games, burning software, security software etc etc and any other software which all carry a windows label for reccomended use.

I hope I have made some sense here.

Thanx.
