Try searching:

 ^[0-9]{4}$

This should match fields that contain exactly 4 digits.

Subject: [IUG] regular expression problem

I am unable to search for a 4 digit number in a particular patron field.
When I try  matches  [0-9]{4}  I get both, 4 digits and  4+ digits.
When I add a space at the end  [0-9]{4}[ ] ,  I get nothing.  Does
anyone know how I can identify when the  field only contain a 4 digit
number?
