if (/00000 set/) { ...etc.
Because the "000000" can change to different numbers (but always 6
figures which could include a period) how can I do a wildcard search?
For example I also need to search for ".00000". Or it could also be
".45306" or "123456" etc.
if (/WILDCARD set/) { ...etc.
If the decimal point will always be at the beginning of the number:
/(?:\.\d{5}|\d{6}) set/
Or:
/[.\d]\d{5} set/
