- I am not sure what exactly are you asking. I had to re-read it many times but every time I understood something else so I had to delete my answer. Can you please give some examples as @Sniffer requested?Siddharth Rout– Siddharth Rout2013-11-17 15:45:18 +00:00Commented Nov 17, 2013 at 15:45
- I am sorry if I wasn't clear enough. My pattern has the following format "AA2-11". I want to match that whole string, that is why I can't use rx.pattern = "[a-z][a-z][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]" because that will hit a match if you have for example "AA2-11-4", while I just want "AA2-11".Jeanno– Jeanno2013-11-17 15:49:12 +00:00Commented Nov 17, 2013 at 15:49

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. python-3.x), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
