Hi @ all,
I have a problem using a regular expression against some values. In most cases it works fine, but I have to skip some values, which isn't working. See, I have this array with different possible combinations: 

    $in[0]="TFS100";
    $in[1]="TFS 100";
    $in[2]="TFS-CR100";
    $in[3]="TFS-CR 100";
    $in[4]="TFS_100";
    $in[5]="TFS ID 100";
    $in[6]="TFS CR 100";
    $in[7]="TFS ID100";
    $in[8]="TFS-ID 100";
    $in[9]="TFS ID:100";
    $in[10]="TFS-ID: 100";
    $in[11]="- TFS CR634: STRESS: H 17326,21600,";
    $in[12]="CR0080588";
    $in[13]="TFS0080588";

and i check with this regular expression: 
$pattern = '[Tt]?[Ff]?[Ss]?[-_\s]?[Cc]?[Rr]?[\']?[Ii]?[Dd]?:?\s?(\d+)'
+;

to also parse the numbers as I need them later in my code. This works fine for nearly all cases, but I have to "skip" or return false for the both last cases ([12] and [13]), if after some characters like "cr" or "tfs" the next value is a zero or double zero. Interesting is, that the number in [12] isn't recognized, but it is in [13]. I tried a lot of things but couldn't get it to work.
Maybe you can help me fixing my problem? This would be great!
