Firstly it would have to be ... {8,14}, otherwise shorter ones would not be
picked up.

But there is a potential problem with [a-z0-9] because it would pick out
many normal English words, for example, ironically, 'programmes' and
'programming'.  I think you'd need the second character to be a digit, so
...
	[bpw][0-9][a-z0-9]{7,13}
... would probably do the job.
