Related to this thread, this is the 1st time I use ChatGPT, here are the question & answer

My question : Hello, I don't understand. One hour ago, I asked you if the AutoIt RegExp ^([+\-]?(?:\d*\.\d+|\d+\.?))$ could match a numeric input .5 and you answered "No it doesnt" . A few minutes ago, I asked you the same question and you answered "Yes it does" . Why did you change your answer ?

Answer from GPT-4o mini

The confusion likely stems from the interpretation of the regular expression and the specific input being evaluated.

The regular expression ^([+\-]?(?:\d*\.\d+|\d+\.?))$ is designed to match numeric inputs, including integers and decimal numbers. Here's a breakdown of the regex:

• ^ asserts the start of the string.
• [+\-]? allows for an optional sign (either '+' or '-').
• (?:\d*\.\d+|\d+\.?) is a non-capturing group that matches either:
  • \d*\.\d+: zero or more digits followed by a decimal point and one or more digits (e.g., .5, 1.5, 0.5).
  • \d+\.?: one or more digits followed optionally by a decimal point (e.g., 5, 5., 10).

Given this breakdown, the input .5 should indeed match the regex, as it fits the pattern of zero digits before the decimal point followed by one or more digits after it.

If I initially stated that it does not match, that was incorrect. The correct answer is that .5 does match the regex. I apologize for the inconsistency in my responses. Thank you for your understanding!
