Re^3: pcre regex

Well, what semantics do you want?

If you just want to remove the restriction that the regex has to match the whole string, remove them.

I substituted and changed ^ and $ but still not getting matches `(?<=)\d{4}[A-Z0-9](?=)` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

What do you think `(?<=)` and `(?=)` do? Why did you write them? The regex you wrote matches a string like `4444B` within a longer substring, so maybe you're doing something else wrong. Perl 6 - second systems done right	[reply] [d/l] [select]

This might do what yo uwant: `\b\d{4}[A-Z0-9]\b` [download] The \b restricts the matches to word boundaries, so it won't report matches in the middle of a longer "word" (which may include digits), like "123456789ABCD".	[reply] [d/l]
