    Hey all. I have a directory of text files that contain lists of domain names.

    I need to run a search on that directory to find all domains of 5 characters in length followed by .com

    examples:

    12345.com
    abcde.com

    I need the regex formula to find
    5_of_any_number_or_letter.com

    Any help would be fab!

    The pattern would be "\w\w\w\w\w\.com"

    probably better is [A-Za-z0-9]{5}\.com

    as the \w character also includes underscore (which does not match with 5_of_any_number_or_letter.com)
