Using Regex to verify file exists with a specific format for the name

if {exists (find file "*.svr" of folder "/etc") and (exists (parenthesized part 1 of (matches (regex "([A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9][0-9]{8}).*") of (names of find files "*.svr" of folder "/etc"))) ) }

I’m sure that you’ll find the solution in this interesting thread that addresses your {8} similar action script issue:

Another regex in action script

hi, have some issues here with regex. Can anyone help? this works in FixletDebugger: q: exists match (regex “^([A-Za-z0-9]{4}-){5}[A-Za-z0-9]{4}$”) of (“aaaa-1aaa-1aaa-aaaa-a1aa-aaaa”) A: True T: 0.032 ms but it fails in action script. I assumed it would need to escape the curly braces, but that didn’t change anything: Failed continue if {exists match (regex "^([A-Za-z0-9]{{4}-){{5}[A-Za-z0-9]{{4}$") of (parameter "key" of action as string)}
