> I want to verify that a string is made up of 2-3 letters, (a-z + åäö,
> A-Z + ÅÖÄ), directly followed by 4 or 5 digits, which could, but may
> not, be followed by a minus and one or two digits.
>
> Examples of valid strings:
>
> abc12345
> ABC12345
> abc1234
> ABC12345-1
> ABC12345-01
>
> I would also like to split them into an array consisting of 2 elements;
>
> [0] = the first 2 or 3 letters
> [1] = the rest
>
> Example:
>
> string = ab12345
> [0] = ab
> [1] = 12345
>
> string = åäö1234-66
> [0] = åäö
> [1] = 1234-66
