The biggest problem with trying to match a string with regex is you
have to know the definition of what the string can be, for example
can the data be:
102-90 E 42 X 42 X 70 3/8
102-90 E 42 X 42 X 70 3/8
102-90 E 42X42X70 3/8
102-90 E 42\tX\t 42 \t X\n 70\r\n 3/8

If you want to just match those two numbers then:
/\s+(\d{1,2})\s+(X|x)\s+(\d{1,2})\s+(X|x)\s+/

If this is the case, where does the 102-90 E come from? This sounds
more like a data normalization issue than anything.
