re.findall(r'\b[0-9]{2,7}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}\b', txt)\b - a word boundary. [0-9]{2,7} - 2 to 7 digits - - a hyphen-minus [0-9]{2} - exactly 2 digits - - a hyphen-minus [0-9]{2} - exactly 2 digits \b - a word boundary. Seems quite straightforward to me. I'll be impressed if you can write that in Python in a way which is easier to read.
Now that I know what {} does, you're right, that IS straightforward! Maybe 2023 will be the year I finally get off my arse and learn regex.
