\d{2}d{3}\

is matching exactly two digits followed by exactly three minor d ... the final backslash might cause pattern compilation error or requests a backslash succeeding those sequence of d's.

\d{1,2}

is matching one or two decimal digits (0-9).

\d{1,3}

is matching one, two or three decimal digits.

If you need to match two different sequences you need to combine them using | in between:

\d{1,2}|\d{1,3}

However, this makes little sense, for the latter part is including the former.

\d{1,2}\.\d{1,3}

is matching two digits, succeeded by a period succeeded by one to three digits. But if period and its succeeding digits are optional as a whole, you need to group that first before declaring this group to be optional:

\d{1,2}(\.\d{1,3})

is grouping the latter part while

\d{1,2}(\.\d{1,3})?

is finally declaring that group to be optional.

If that's all to be matched in a string, you need to wrap it in anchors for matching beginning and end of string resulting in

^\d{1,2}(\.\d{1,3})?$

You can do it as follows if I understand you correctly:

^\d{1,2}(\.\d{1,3})?$
