Check a part of string with regex

[ekekakos]

Hello, as I am no expert in regex I want to check in the below string

UA/2023/0838.L

from 3 to 8 we have /20??/. Can anyone suggest a solution with regex?

Thanks

Elias

I don't know why you want to use a regular expression, it's not worth, if you use POSIX it will be very slow (and even PCRE will be slower than a classic IF condition).

Anyway, just to answer your question.

../20../.*

. is a wildcard character representing any character

* is a wildcard character indicating that the previous character (or element) may occur 0 or any number.

Look at ABAP documentation, it's described exactly the same.

Elias,

if you like to "play" with REGEX, the standard and well-documented program DEMO_REGEX_TOY should help.
