How to find 4 numbers?

johnt0244 · Jun 02, 2005#12005-06-02T09:02+00:00

I need to find a dutch zip code in a file.
example: "1234AB" or "1234 AB" (four number+two letters)

I found this expression:
[0-9]{4}[\s]*[A-Za-z]{2}
but this does not work.

It has someting to do with the {} can somebody offer a suggestion how to work around this?

Thnx

mvgils:

I don't think UE supports the {} REs. I would try something like this:

\d\d\d\d\s*[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z]

Note that I am using unix style REs (there is a setting on Advanced | Configuration | Find) and that any number of spaces would be found between the numbers and the letters. UE also doesn't support the "?" RE, find 0 or 1 occurrance of a string.
