In looking at the size of the resulting answers it occurs to me that you might prefer an interim step of a list of all prefixes in use, and the quantity of numbers available for each prefix?

Hi,

I have a file with catalogue numbers like this : AA00001 to ZZ99999.
Is there a neat way to extract all the numbers available ( not being used ) for a given prefix ?
eg, the list of numbers available between PE00020 and PF99290, list of numbers with prefix AZ.

Thanks
