Ah my bad I misread the following

“when the chromosome entered is not 1-22 or X or Y.” to mean it would always include the an X or Y

Hope it helps anyway

thanks Jeff,

your solution does not match numbers like 1, 13, 22. But it matches something like 22x or 3y.

A modified version of your solution seems to work better:

^([1-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-2]|[X|Y])$

Would the following regex help? Haven’t tried it in JS, but should just work…. ^([1-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-2])(X|Y)$
