Regex help

[salazor]

I needs your help, I'm not fluent in Regex - I have to find the files in the range -149 to -160

original name is gerse-14987 or otyr-15734 or hertam-16043 - All are 5 digital

I created

Code: Select all

-149{3}|-15[0-9]{3}|-160{3}

but not quite working properly.

(I'm not very good, but) maybe something like this:

Code: Select all

-149\d\d|-1[56]\d\d\d

(that's not going to do it is, it... maybe i look later.)

[salazor]

In all works, only now found also -161 or -168
but on 160** ends

[froggie]

how about

Code: Select all

-(149|15\d|160)\d\d

[therube]

Cool. I like that.

And you can tack on a \D to avoid something like hertam-160436 (six digits).

Code: Select all

-(149|15\d|160)\d\d\D

It works perfectly, but I noticed a small mistake - if I choose from the menu "Enable Regex" it works well, but if I typed

Code: Select all

regex:-(149|15\d|160)\d\d

Regex from menu disabled - no results

Is it possible to combine the command like this:

Code: Select all

regex:-(149|15\d|160)\d\d dupe:

[void]

regex:"-(149|15\d|160)\d\d" dupe:

Use double quotes to escape the |

Now it works, thanks.
