Validating locale specific numeric data.

Question

Is there is any way to validate a numeric value that can have scientific notation, plus/minus sign and locale specific decimal point.
I tried using NumberFormat parse() method but it gives success even if the string is like 1erwrw. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Ok, Try this, I am getting Number parsed as output, but this is an ivalid number.
public class test1
    public static void main(String[] args)
        try
            Number number = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(Locale.ENGLISH).parse("12ee");
            System.out.println("Number parsed");
        catch (ParseException e1)
            e1.printStackTrace();
            System.out.println("Number cant be parsed");
}
