Sure
[0-9] Means look for any digit from 0-9. For upper case letters A-Z
{1,5} Uses the match condition to the left of it and looks. Looks for any occurrence from a single digit 1 up to 5 digits. In your case it looks for 0-9, so it will look for (e.g 0-99999). If we had a page count 100,000 it would not find it. You can change these values. If you want exact digits do {1}.
" " = space. With real regular expression you use "\s" with MS you must use a space.
"John Smith" looks for that exact expression.
