But what if the last character of the gibberish is a number?

True, he did say "1 to 4 digits", not "1 or more digits". They rhyme, but they are distinct...

this should work:

set a to "gibberish 123430[Foobazoo]this is test (#1)."

But is the number 3430, 430, 30, or 0?

And is the gibberish the corresponding "gibberish 12", "gibberish 123", "gibberish 1234", or "gibberish 12343"?

"As a matter of general principle, I believe there can be no doubt that criticism in time of war is essential to the maintenance of any kind of democratic government ... too many people desire to suppress criticism simply because they think that it will give some comfort to the enemy to know that there is such criticism." -- Robert A. Taft, December 19, 1941
