Hi,
I am using the following:
[0-9]{4} [A-Za-zÅØ]{2,20}
to extract data like:
1000 Øslo
How can I alter the above to limit to ONLY 4
digits, or in other words exclude:
11000 Beograd
Please note that what I am extracting from is
NOT at the begining of a line, so I can't use
the ^ first.
How about:
^[^\d\r]*([0-9]{4} [A-Za-zÅØ]{2,20})
The backreferenced pattern $1 contains the extracted string.
Also, you may notice a couple of 'special'
characters in my expression 'Å + Ø' By putting
them in they seem to work fine, but is this the
best way of doing it?
I'm sorry, I don't know the answer to that.
