RegExp to extract letter/number-combination (ANNANN)...

Can anyone help me with a regular expression that returns
the following pattern, if found: "Alpha-num-num-Apha-num-num"

Examples:
"WEBSERVER\TV-Show\Flash Gordon\flash.gordon.2007.s01e12.avi"
"WEBSERVER\TV-Show\Flash Gordon\Flash.Gordon.S01E01.avi"
"WEBSERVER\TV-Show\Flash Gordon\Flash.Gordon.S01E02.avi"

Should return:
s01e12,
S01E01,
and S01E02 respectively...

TIA...

Signature

Dag.

Look up the source code for how to use a Matcher.

Try:

Pattern p =
Pattern.compile("\\p{Alpha}\\p{Digit}\\p{Digit}\\p{Alpha}\\p{Digit}\\p{Digit}");
