Which I’d rather see the OP try
That was entirely my point of posting the ChatGPT interaction. There are plenty of resources online - and they’re getting even easier to use - that one can test and show their work before coming here and asking for a solution.
Cheers.

@PeterJones ,
Well, I learned something new. I guess I can start using NPP to see what all those base64 things are. :)Anyway, your solution seemed to be erred, but I’m not sure if mine is completely fulfilling the desired result, as all it does is highlight the numbers, and leaves the counting to the OP. :)
In my newly learned trick of NPP, I guess my answer shall go here the same way yours does. :)

As you can tell, typed sarcasm, although I obviously got your point, isn’t my strong suit. :) LOL However, your point was not lost on my lack of ability to sense sarcasm in the typed word. :) -

Michael Vincent failure in the problem statement: OP wants “up to 3”, not “at least 3”.
Yeah, my bad, I didn’t read the exact question into ChatGPT. The point being though that the OP could have done so and showed some work / effort before asking for solution. I sometimes feel like this forum has become a regex writing service when plenty exist online and if one is too “scared” or “confused” where to start - simply speak your requirement into ChatGPT and get something to start with. It’s really never been simpler to show some effort by our posters (not directed the forum “regulars” who answer these questions again and again … and again …).
Cheers.

XGR7MX0rThat solution requires the digits to be in a row. And will allow for any number of digits, not limiting it to “up to 3”. (See what happens when you use that against the text
1234567890, and see how much of that text it gobbles in a single match). Also, it will only match the digits, not the entire email address.(Actually, re-reading the OP, it might require that the email is alone on the line, with 0-3 numbers. It’s hard to tell, because the OP didn’t put enough detail in the problem statement, and has never come back to clarify. Until they do, I will stop thinking about this problem.)

@PeterJones Yes, I noticed after playing a little more, it gets all numbers, but then again, the OP didn’t specify that it only show the ones with up to 3, only that it wants to determine for them to mark that it has up to 3… my solution was just to show only the numbers and let them count them, but they are marked that they have numbers. :)
I have to add though, it is something I’m going to play around with, as this will give me something to use should the issue arise. :)

Um, the title literally says, “How to find each lines that has upto 3 numbers in a list of email”. How is that not asking for “up to 3”?

Later in the description:
Now, I want to be able to figure out any line in the document that has up-to 3 numbers in each email addresses and able to mark them out. That is checking from beginning to the end of each line and be able to determine how many numbers in the email.
According to their test, they used
\d{3}but it only showed 3 numbers together. Mine shows them all, so they can make that determination of whether to mark it or not. Semantics at work again. :) But according to the test they show and the wording of their request after the title statement, this solution seems to follow what they later explain they meant.Edit: I have got to figure out this markdown to figure out how to put quotes in where I want them. So I used code for this quote…sorry. @Alan-Kilborn showed me how…now where is that manual. :) Found references from the FAQ and then followed links. Will be better formatter now. :)

@Mendella-Replacement Thank you so much. I’m sorry, I seem to have failed a lot of rules here. I’m new here, not really a coder, lol.
I was only trying to fix this error for my manager in the office.
I have read your suggestions, I will try them out and report back. -
@PeterJones Thank you sir, I will do that before posting here next time.
