Aha! never mind, i think. The original expression, before i noticed the
leading zeroes, was looking for
TriggerText: 01234
using
FieldName|Body|(?i)triggertext\D?\D?\D?([0-9]{1,6})
because, iirc about setting that up, some people type TEXT 01234 and some
type TEXT: 01234, etc. I'd forgotten i am not checking the beginning of the
*string,* just my $1 goal.
Now i'm using
(?i)vin\D?\D?\D?0*([0-9]{4,6})
which is a good deal simpler, and seems to be working. None, one, or a
million leading zeroes should be ignored now.
