something like:
"[0-9]\{125\}X"
you could also have:
"[0-9]\{m,n\}X"
Where {m,n} indicates that the preceeding element must match at least m
times and may match as many as n times.

Subject: RegEx rookie question
Is there a way to check for a character in a specific position in a
string? For example, say I want to make sure that the 10th
character in a string is an X.
This would be a match: 123456789X12345
Would I have to use a pattern like ?????????X
or is there something more elegant? Using something like the above
would be cumbersome for matching the 125th character, for
example.
Thanks,
