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.
