>>Just to be sure: the sequence "31 588 w" is always in this format? That is, two digits, a space, three digits, another space, and a single letter? Or can it be something else?

>Sir there would always be last three Digits/Texts as I mentioned. However there may be case where there can be )31 588 w (i.e ")31" without space) or ) 31 588 w ((i.e ")31" with space)
