[thelist] reg expression question

[Howard Cheng]

I believe you're looking for something like:

[0-9,]{3,}

Of course, this will also pick work with patterns with mutiple commas, such
as 1,2,3, which I assume is not what you want to get. If you're intent on
avoiding that match, you'll have to do something more complex, like:

[0-9]{0,3},?[0-9]{3}
