This is my pattern:
^~[0-9]+@Y 1,710,-?[0-9]+[,-?[0-9]+]*\n$
For some reason it's match :~01@Y 1,710,9,
But not: ~01@Y 1,710,9
I don't understand why it's need the last comma?

What do you want to match? – Avinash Raj Oct 23 '14 at 06:15

Do you really want to have `[` and `]` inside the last character class? – Barmar Oct 23 '14 at 06:15

2You probably want `(,-?[0-9]+)*`, not `[,-?[0-9]+]*`. – georg Oct 23 '14 at 06:16

I think the problem here is
[,-?[0-9]+]*
It will match "~01@Y 1,710,9," or "~01@Y 1,710,[9]"
If you just want to define your expression match with comma, question mark, number or "-" at the end, you can try expression below:
^~[0-9]+@Y 1,710,-?[0-9]+[,?0-9-]*$
