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),

The 'm' is an optional flag indicating that a 'match' regexp (versus a substitution or transliteration) follows. It's typically only necessary in perl if using delimiters other than / around the regexp.

(The person who posted that should have written it as PHP to avoid confusion: preg_match('/^[0-9][A-Z][a-z]{2-3} \.[0-9]+$/', $string);)
