How can I do the second exercise?

Hi, guys.

I'm trying to do the second exercise, but I just got to this point \d\s\w{3,6}\s? \d\s\w{3,6}\s?\w{6} I can't include the 2 pie slices without exclude the other ones.

thanks

I figured it out, but I'll not delete the question, just in case someone else has the same problem

I made it with a couple of (), like this.

\d\s\w{3,6}\s?(\w{6})?

Hope this helps someone

I achieved it using : \d\s\w*\s?\w* OR \d\s\w+\s?\w+

it will select all of these: 8 pieces 7 piece 6 pieces 5 pieces 4 pieces 2 pie slices
