Hi,

How to check one or more letter strings follow by two or more digit numbers.
If I have $line contains data:

new YOR CiTy 55
boston 66


I have the code below but it only checks from 1 to 3 letter strings but I want to check more than 3 letter strings. How can I do it?

$line !~ /^\s*([a-zA-Z]+)\s*([a-zA-Z]+)\s*([a-zA-Z]+)\s*\d{2,}$/)

Many thanks,
Tony

I'm not sure what you're doing with your regex. If I'm not mistaken it can be much more simple:

/^([a-z]\i)+.*(([0-9]){2})$/

The "\i" means "case-insensitive"
