Re^2: Simple regular expression problem

[ikegami]

That's won't work if string contains no digits (which the OP said was a possible input). For example, $name will be just "a" for "abdbdr".

Update: Just plain wrong.

Therefore he anchored the regex with $ to match until the end regardless if a digit is present or not
