Messaging Gateway

I am trying to setup a regular expression to filter an account number.    I have this expression working 33[0-9]{5}.  I want to find this number only at a word boundary, so I have tried including \b and it still finds the numbers embedded in a longer string.   Can someone give me some guidance on how to do these following: find this pattern only if it is space delimited, preceded by a #, or followed by a "."   I have tried using some of the various RegEx testers on the web, and what works in them does not work in Brightmail.

Thanks! 

Hi Jerry2786,

I am not a regex expert, but the following regex seemed to work for my:

(#|\s)33[0-9]{5}(\.|\s)

Please let me know how it worked for you.

Hi phhowe17,

Thanks for sharing the nice online RegEx testing tool; my test results with the tool were consistent with tests with SBG.

Jerry, the regex I provided should work for you, but if it does not, please provide samples of what should and should not match the regex that you are looking for.

Thanks

Adnan

Hi Jerry,

Did you get a chance to test the regex I provided?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks

Adnan
