some questions/ notes
1) is ABC123 the whole line? If not, ^ and $ are not needed.
2) It's not clear what expressions you plan to catch. Do you mean 1-3
letters (regardless of case), followed by 1-3 digits OR a range having 1-3
digits as well?
3) here's my shot
[[:alpha:]]{1,3}[[:digit:]]{1,3}(-[[:digit:]]{1,3})?
