batman1,
I suppose the skills that someone is familiar with has bearing on what is simple or not. A simple find pattern? No, and one may not exists. However, with VBA your task is easy enough:
Code:
Sub ScratchMacro()
'A basic Word Macro coded by Gregory K. Maxey
Dim oRng As Range
Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Range
With oRng.Find
.Text = "[0-9]{1,}"
.MatchWildcards = True
While .Execute
Select Case Len(oRng.Text)
Case 4
If InStr(oRng.Text, "2") > 0 Then Debug.Print oRng.Text
Case 5
If InStr(Left(oRng.Text, 4), "2") > 0 Then Debug.Print oRng.Text
End Select
Wend
End With
lbl_Exit:
Exit Sub
End Sub
Sample Numbers:
12345 – Match
56789 – No Match
123 – No Match
1234 – Match
4321 – Match
8945 – No Match
98765 – No Match
124567 – No match
54312 – No match
