Try: `\b\w*\d\w*\b` – anubhava Oct 15 '20 at 13:52

This is true only when the string contains a single digit. – TonyR Oct 15 '20 at 14:38

@TonyR No, it will match multiple digits as well because `\w` matches any alphanumeric character or underscore. See [this demo](https://regex101.com/r/ImQ7f8/1). – 41686d6564 stands w. Palestine Oct 15 '20 at 15:44

This not what I meant (I was too imprecise), rather it is too general - it also matches 123, for example. It would be better to use [a-z] – TonyR Oct 15 '20 at 17:53
