Problem with filter and regex

[Peter Haworth]

I think adding the tab at the end of the pattern will ensure this works, so:

^[a-z]\d+\t

Somewhat depends on exactly what he's looking for  with the regex but the
important part is the ^ and the \t with the rest being dependent on the
format of what he's looking for.
