Hi Ranjan,
regular expressions will only give you .T. or .F. as their only purpose is to verify, if a string contains a given expression or not.
In your case, you will have to use AT() to find the possible start of searched textblock, then extract five characters (\'d7\) and let them check with regexp. If you receive a .T., then you have a valid block and the first 4 chars can be stored or whatever.

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are,
by definition, not smart enough to debug it.
