How can I use regex to capture this specfic set of ages? -

i have set of age data, below;

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1,1 1,2 1,3 2,12 11,13,15 7,8,12 12,15 14,16,17 15,6 13,11,10,2 

and on... trying use regex in target 'mixed' range of childrens ages. logic requires @ least combination of 2 childen (so requires 1 of lines comma), @ least 1 aged under 10 (min 1), , @ least 1 aged equal or greater 10 (max 17).

my expected results above return these lines below, , nothing else;

2,12 7,8,12 15,6 13,11,10,2 

any advice appreciated on how resolve? in advance, continuing try correct.

you can use regex meet requirements:

^(?=.*\b[1-9]\b)(?=.*\b1[0-7]\b)[0-9]+(?:,[0-9]+)+$ 

regex demo

• there 2 lookaheads assert 2 numbers 1 between 1-9 , between 10-17
• ([1-9]) matches number should between 1 , 9
• 1[0-7] matches number should between 10 , 17
• [0-9]+(?:,[0-9]+)+ in regex matching 1 or more comma separated numbers in middle.
