Regex Matches Dynamic Number -

i have following regex:

regex expd = new regex("<ns6:userid>(?result>.*?)</ns6:userid>"); 

how can handle number 6 changing single digit? after software updates, number may change 0-9.

i have tried \d , . no luck.

thanks!

if regex constructed string, have escape backslashes, \d become \\d:

regex expd = new regex("<ns\\d:userid>(?result>.*?)</ns\\d:userid>"); 

you did not mention language, critical when providing code. i'd that's java, can't know sure.

furthermore, what's (?...) supposed be? (debuggex doesn't recognise it.) did mean (?:...), i.e. non-capturing group?
guess you're looking this:

regex expd = new regex("<ns\\d:userid>(?:result>.*?)</ns\\d:userid>"); 

but if tried . , didn't work, either you're using regex implementation highly incompatible rest of world, or you're applying wrong.
