Why "\d+{1,4}(?:[.,]\d{1,4})?" in RegularExpressionValidator throws Exception: "Nested quantifier {"

I have

<asp:RegularExpressionValidator ValidationExpression="\d+{1,4}(?:[.,]\d{1,4})?" />

but it doesn't' work, parser throws ArgumentException:

parsing "\d+{1,4}(?:[.,]\d{1,4})?"

Nested quantifier {.

Where is my mistake? I want to allow strings like xxxx,xxxx - from 1 to 4 digits and decimal digits are not required, e.g.: 1000, 99,99, 0,249开发者_运维知识库8, etc.

This looks wrong:

\d+{1,4}

Should be this:

\d{1,4}

The + means 'one or more' and the {1,4} means between one and four. They cannot be used together as it would not make sense.

I think this should do it:

\d{1,4}(?:,\d{1,4})?

I think you want

[.,]?

Instead of

?:[.,]
