i need a regex to return all the matches for the following:

“PM|04665|||20091103004500||ADT^A23|”

“PM|04665|||20091103004533||ADT^A29|”

Any help is appreciated.

Try this:

Code:

egrep ‘PM|04665|||[0-9]{14,14}||ADT^A(23|29|34)|’

If I may make a suggestion that may or may not make your life easier: instead of writing long, complicated regexp, try stringing some pipes together like this …

egrep ‘04665’ | egrep ‘ADT’ [code]egrep ‘04665’ | egrep ‘ADT’
