I'm sure this has been posted before but I'm not quite sure what to search for. I am looking for a way to filter out any posts that have a either a 5 or 6 digit number in the subject.
Example:
Spam Post spam.jpg 123456
Spam Post spam2.jpg 645322
They appears to be random numbers. At any rate how would one eliminate those?
Thanks in advance.

[.]jpg.*[0-9]{5,6}
If you always want it to be
"...jpg[sp]<number>" then
"[.]jpg\s[0-9]{5,6}"
Which means "dot followed by "jpg" followed by a space, followed by 5 or 6 numbers from 0-9".
Type this into the find box and only matches should be display in the listings. Don't type in the quotes.
