Part Name Versioning

I'm having some trouble setting up my part name version format. I've looked at the examples in the Help section and there isn't one quite like our situation. If one of the "experts" could help set me up it would be greatly appreciated. Our company was bought recently, so now we have two file naming conventions to account for.

Example 1:
40406_a.prt
51299_.prt
66029_c.prt
x55055_a.prt
breaks down as:
numeric p/n ("x" in front of part number if experimental),
underscore,
revision letter (or nothing if no revision)


Example 2:
343191901_a05.prt
291182602_b10.prt
311582901_-01.prt
e343110635.prt
breaks down as
numeric p/n ("e" in front of part number if experimental),
underscore,
revision letter or hyphen & number


I've been round and round trying to set this up all afternoon w/o much luck. Can anyone help?

TIA

Are you trying to come up with a new standard?

Where I work, we have adopted General Motors naming scheme. We use the master model format (Drawing format that has a math model linked to it).

Example ours are;

x10000.dwgfmt.prt
|
- x10000.mldes.prt

Maybe expand on your question.

No, I'm not trying to come up with a new file naming standard. I'm trying to correctly set the Part Name Versions in the UG customer defaults to allow for the two legacy part naming conventions we have in place.
 
Format: ([e0-9]|[x0-9]|[0-9]+\\_)\\([ a-z]|([\\-a-z][0-9]))
Substitute: \\1
Match: \\1([ a-z]|([\\-a-z][0-9]))

Read up Unix Regular Expressions.
Try to do the rules for each numbering system independently, then combine them.

It has been 13 years since I set up the rules, so I hope I still remembered what the syntax was.
