Hello, I need to find some phrases using regexp, f.e., [0-9]{5}\s[\S]{5}[0-6]{2}. But for elastic this is two different terms. I can find [0-9]{5} and [\S]{5}[0-6]{2} but not together. I have no idea how I can resolve this. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
