Regular Expression for Amount Entry in uitextField in ios

Question

Please any one help me achieve this, I need to implement validation for Amount Text field. Here's a regex need to allow allows 1-6 digits before and 1-2 digits after the dot. I had already try with these ways, but I didn't get the solution.

2) regular expression in iOS

Wow, I can't believe how many invalid and pointless edits have been made on this post... if it doesn't add anything, then don't edit it. It's fine as it is. — Sheridan, Mar 06 '14 at 10:35

I haven't worked on iOS before, so I don't know about iOS specific behavior for regexes. You could check if this works.

^(\d){1,6}\.(\d){1,2}$

Its also not working in some cases like when we enter more than 8 digits at a time. – Laxmi Mar 06 '14 at 11:05
That's weird. Is the regex allowing you to enter more than 8 digits before the decimal point? – divesh premdeep Mar 06 '14 at 22:32
