Hi, I need to match a string of the form
capital_letter underscore capital_letter number against a string of the form anything capital_letter underscore capital_letter number some_stuff_not_starting with a number Eg D_A1 needs to match with DUKE00001_plateD_A1.CEL, but not any of DUKE00001_plateD_A10.CEL, Duke00001_PlateD_A11v2.CEL, DUKE00001_plateD_A12.CEL. Similarly D_A10 needs to match DUKE00001_plateD_A10.CEL, but not any of DUKE00001_plateD_A1.CEL, Duke00001_PlateD_A11v2.CEL, DUKE00001_plateD_A12.CEL. Similarly D_A11 needs to match Duke00001_PlateD_A11v2.CEL, but not any of DUKE00001_plateD_A1.CEL, DUKE00001_plateD_A10.CEL, DUKE00001_plateD_A12.CEL. Thanks in advance. Please cc me with any reply.
