I came up with the R

Answer 1

^[a-z]{1}[0-9]{2}$

sedfdhajkldsfakdsakvsdfasdfr30.reed.op.1xp0

as far as i can read this

• find thr first lower gives[s] caps letter after it there should be two numbers meaning the length of your string is and always will be 3 word chars

Maybe if i have more data about your string i can help

EDIT

if you are sure of *number of dots then

change this line

Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher("sedfdhajkldsfakdsakvsdfasdfr30.reed.op.1xp0");

to

Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher("sedfdhajkldsfakdsakvsdfasdfr30.reed.op.1xp0".split("\.")[0]);

note:-

using my solution you should omit the leading ^ for pattern
