You mite try this. I know that this work with perl.

=~ m/^[0-9][A-Z][a-z]{2-3} \.[0-9]+$/

I'm not sure what the initial m does(I'm not a perl person), but the rest of the regex matches as follows.

A string whose first character is a digit between 0 and 9. This is followed by an Upper case letter, and then two or three lower case letters. All that is followed by a period(or dot), after which may be a single-digit number, but nothing else.

It matches the following:

1Abc.2 1Abcd.2 1Abc. 1Abcd.

I'm still very new to this. But I'm trying to help. Thomas free@yahoo.com
