Thanks for your reply......
I need only string before decimal or floating numeric values
sample outputs:
text.45
example.90
value.46
like that

Try giving an example of exact inputs and exact outputs - because it isn't clear from your comment what you want to get from what. All you show are "outputs" - which the regex I gave will provide!

Input Text:
Lipids have diverse structures.09 but are similar in that they are insoluble.23 in water.These diseases are known as the sphingolipidoses, or gangliosidoses. The sphingolipidoses are summarized in Table 7.1.

Output:
structures.09
insoluble.23

the pattern you suggested provides:
Table 7.1

I only want output as string before floating point no.(i.e table.1 is expected and not table 7.1)

Try this:
\s+[^\d\s]*?\.\d+
From your sample data is gives just
structures.09
insoluble.23

Solution 2

If you want regex pattern for the following sample outputs:
text.45
example.90
value.46
then try:

\b[a-zA-Z]*[.][\d][\d]\b

Else if you only want those alphabets:
text
example
value
then try:

\b[a-zA-Z]*(?=[.][\d][\d]\b)

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
[amended upon re-understanding]

\b[a-zA-Z]+[.][\d][\d]\b

actually just need to change the '*' to '+'

I want both alphabets as well as number after dot or decimal.

Member 10391350 23-Jan-14 23:34pm

I am getting my output with this pattern "\b[a-zA-Z]*[.][\d][\d]\b" but if there is no text or alphabet before decimal it should not be displayed in output.
example:
example.90
value.46
.09
.78
this is output i am getting when i used your pattern.
but desired output is:
example.90
value.46

Wow, very difficult to understand your question, even your example did not tally with your question. Let me try to re-understand, so if the value is 'example.90', you want the output to be 'example.90'; if the value is '9.90' or '.90', you do not want any output. If that correct? then see my amended solution 2.

Thanks a lot!and sorry for confusing you.Thanks a lot once again!

I need another one help.
I need a pattern for finding any characters before decimal point except numeric values.
sample input:
1.9876
test.3456
45.4
page.6457
Output:
test.3456
page.6457
