Hi Armen,

Instead of telling you the answer (partly because I struggle to answer it from the top of my head) I wonder if you know of any places out there on the web that might help you work it out.

I don't know if I speak for many others but I don't think few of us can actually memorise all the rules of Regex. I'm sure to could with lots of practice but instead I would encourage you to go on Google and search for something like "JS regex cheatsheets".

In spite of the name, it's not cheating. You'll be making these sorts of searches all the time in your programming career.

So look for what you need to match 2 sets of 5 digit numbers and how to exclude characters as well.
