What you wrote is 'a one to nine digits, then space, then the word "failed"'.

No. /\d{1-9}/ matches a digit followed by a "{" followed by a "1" followed by a "-" followed by a "9" followed by a "}".

To match any number (for some definition of number), /\d+/ would do.

    To make this answer a little more helpful:
    The correct expression to match "a series of 1 to 9 digits" is:
    /\d{1,9}/ or /[0-9]{1,9}/ - note the comma, not dash

    1 to 9 digits between 1 and 9:
    /[1-9]{1,9}/

    Any number of digits between 1 and 9: /[1-9]+/

    Oh, thank you, my fault; I saw comma inplace of dash
