 Depends on what regexp function you use, what exactly you want to match,
 and whether or not you want to know, after you match, any of the
 segments. Rasmus has given you one possible pattern that works with the
 ereg functions. If you wanted to use a preg function and wanted to match
 3 digits, a space, two m', one or more spaces, and 3 digits, you would
 use:
 
 preg_match('/^\d{3} mm\s+\d{3}$/', $string);
 
 But, what it all comes down to is: you need to determine what PATTERN
 you need to be able to match. Once you know that, you can write the
 regexp.
