Exclude segments of xml files with regex

What is your experience with regex to exclude segements of xml files from translation?

I want to exclude texts like the ones below from appearing in the translation editor:

<en>2000 x 1451</en>

<en>72941</en>

using the regex ^[\d\sx]*$

But the fields still show up in the translation editor. Does anybody know why? Did anybody ever have problems with this?

  Hello Daniel,

   

  thanks for the question.

  Have you tried following regular expressions:

  1) ([0-9]+ x [0-9]+) 

  for this

  <en>2000 x 1451</en>

  2) [0-9]+

  for this

  <en>72941</en>

  Let me know, please.

  All the best

  Wojciech

  I checked my regex expressions in a regex checker before, so they should have worked. Your expressions did not work either I am afraid.

  Thanks for replying Daniel.

  I am a bit surprised by this as I have tested my regexs by processing in Wordbee the file with mentioned numbers and it worked.

  All the best

  Well, I must be doing something wrong... but what? I am using Chrome on Windows 7. This is how the settings look:

  And this is the source:

  

  The editor will display this:

  Okay, I found the difference: I was importing a file as "multilingual", you must have been importing your file as "monolingual". Your regex expressions do work for me if I import monolingual files.

  Did you try your regex with multilingual XML files as well?
