RegEX question
Hi,

I am trying to write a regex for myscript and need some input from experts.

here is what I must grep for

TICKET{Sapce}[3,4,5.. digit number][a comma]{Space}[Two aplhabits]{hyphen}[3,4,5 ..digit number][colon][some text]

so here is the example data

TICKET 34554, CT-12345, TICKET 12345: some text here

TICKET 2342, CT-12345, MA-12344: some text here

TICKET 2345, TICKET 2345, TICKET 2345: some text here

every line starts with TICKET ####

I tried a bit but not able to cover case so far. Please suggest
