Some AWKs' regular expression flavor may not support interval expressions (in your example, the {4} part), even though the standard has stated (for at least 15 years) that AWK's regular expression support is the extended regular expression flavor (which includes interval expression support) plus some minor escape sequence extensions.
In particular, I remember, years ago, bumping into this when testing scripts on GNU AWK. Without the --re-interval option, the feature would not be enabled.
Perhaps your AWK lacks support for it? Which implementation are you using?

sql_regcase
SQL_REGCASE(3) 1 SQL_REGCASE(3)
sql_regcase - Make regular expression for case insensitive match
SYNOPSIS
string sql_regcase (string $string)
DESCRIPTION
Creates a regular expression for a case insensitive match.
Warning
This function has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 5.3.0. Relying on this feature is highly discouraged.
PARAMETERS
o $string
- The input string.
RETURN VALUES
Returns a valid regular expression which will match $string, ignoring case. This expression is $string with each alphabetic character con-
verted to a bracket expression; this bracket expression contains that character's uppercase and lowercase form. Other characters remain
unchanged.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
sql_regcase(3) example
<?php
echo sql_regcase("Foo - bar.");
?>
The above example will output:
[Ff][Oo][Oo] - [Bb][Aa][Rr].
This can be used to achieve case insensitive pattern matching in products which support only case sensitive regular expressions.
NOTES
Note
As of PHP 5.3.0, the regex extension is deprecated in favor of the PCRE extension. Calling this function will issue an E_DEPRECATED
notice. See the list of differences for help on converting to PCRE.
