REGEX help please

Hi regex gurus 🙂

i have a large set of filenames which contain an identifier in various positions of the filename. the identifier is two characters which are always the same followed by 5 digits that vary eg 

 

this is the filename for AB12345.pdf

AB54321 details here.docx

also AB32145 info here.pdf

 

is there a way of parsing this in regex to extract the 7character identifiers?

 

TIA

Nat
