It's worse than the first time I opened Photoshop, decades ago -- and that I was able to grasp reasonably quickly.
I'll try to give it another shot sometime, but just thought I'd let you know my first impressions of it (even though you're using the "dummies" program, not this "total morons" one that I got).

Patience, Padawan. Regex is *always* like this to learn, and yes, I concur--RB and RM have VERY steep learning curves. The big problem, to my mind, is the layout.
It's confusing as hell. IIRC, I spent some time googling around, and I found a few other nerdy types, who had posted stuff, and that got me going in a forward direction.
Sorry if that doesn't help. Did you work through the examples? The browser demos, here:
https://www.regexmagic.com/demo.html ? They put the files in, in the Help file under RM Examples, Patterns, Integer?
Also: if you really CANNOT get it, they have a 90-day money back guarantee. I always keep the RB's that a given crew member doesn't install or use; there's always someone else coming down the pike. :-)
