Beginning learner

Hi guys,

New member here, also new student!

I'm just starting the Shell Programming, currently in chapter four in the Book in Unix, Linux, and OS X by Stephen G. Kochan & Patrick Wood (4th edition).

I'm needing a little help with other possible ways to shorten this shell command:
Code:
/[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][ \][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][ \][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]/

It's purpose is to bed used in ed with a file open with possible matches.

This question was presented as follows:

Using the Regular Expression techniques that we have discussed in class develop, test, and submit a regular expression that will identify each of the following patterns.

An American Express credit card number that fits the following format: 4 digits followed by a space followed by 6 digits followed by a space followed by 5 digits.

Any input or help would be greatly appreciated!

If not, I'm happy to be a member here! Smilie

Thanks
