You want:

\b(UE|ue)[0-9]{6}\b

You don't need the {2} next to the (UE|ue) since you are specifying those exactly. The \b is a word boundary so this will match a list like you put in the comment: UE123456,ue654321 This is a good site to play with a regex on for this kind of stuff: http://regex101.com

Regex should be:

^[Uu][Ee][0-9]{6}$

(UE|ue){2} in your regex would match 2 occurrences of UE or ue
