Say you have to parse strings to match something like this :

913|723

being xxx|yyy the coordinates.

How do I check with javascript and regex if the string matches the xxx|yyy (only numbers and the separator) ?

You can use regex pattern 

^\d{3}\|\d{3}$

var pattern = '/^\d{3}\|\d{3}$/';
if (pattern.test(subject)) {
    alert("matched");
}

This is not correct. It will report a match on "abc123|234def".
You can try it above regex online test suite, and you will see that "abc1|2def" wont match
