RegEx for ISIN with at least 1 number












2















I have the following RegEx to parse ISIN of fonds, assets, etc.. (2 characters followed by 10 digits and characters)



([A-Z]{2})([A-Z0-9]{10})


But this also marks for example a word like this ABCDEFGHIJKL, but this is no real ISIN. A definition of ISINs is here: WIKI



So some examples are US45256BAD38, US64118Q1076, XS0884410019. What would be the correct RegEx to search for them, without matches like ABCDEFGHIJKL?



Maybe with a RegEx to have at least one number?

          You can use a lookahead regex:



          b([A-Z]{2})((?![A-Z]{10}b)[A-Z0-9]{10})b


          RegEx Demo



          (?![A-Z]{10}b) is a negative lookahead that will fail the match if all 10 chars are letters after first 2 chars.

          • Thanks! This works fine in the demo, but I use it in PLSQL with REGEXP_SUBSTR and there it fails.. do you know if REGEXP_SUBSTR does not support lookaheads?
