Hi,
first please excuse me for replying so late. Thanks to all who responded.
I am using now (?i)^([a-z0-9]{2})\.([a-z0-9]{5})\.([a-z0-9]{3})$ for checking
the format, because each char can be alpha or number.
And it shows me again, i should have read "Mastering regular expressions" from
J.Friedl. I own this book , but did not have the time yet to read it. (I know i
own it, but i do not know where it is at the moment) ;-).
Thanks again,
Matthias
