in reply to Problem with regular expression

Hi again,

well, with a litte change Utilitarian's Code works perfectly for me. 

TFS[-_\s]?(?:CR|ID)?:?\s?([1-9]\d+)

[download]


However, I would appreciate it, if you could explain this section to me, as I'm not that familiar with regular expressions but for sure I want to learn to use them!

(?:CR|ID)?

CR|ID # alternation accepts either pattern group 'CR' or 'ID'
)? # group is optional
