I've tried learning Regex and I never seem to do them right. I do really appreciate the link to Expresso! Much appreciated.

Try something like this, though I'm not an expert in regex

([0-9]{7})[a-zA-Z]{1}

Awesome! Thanks, I was so close, but close doesn't cut with regex.

You're welcome!

Realize, though, that "\w" matches all alphanumerics and underscore. If he really means "alpha", you have to use "[A-Za-z]".

Thanks for the clarification
