Programmatically you could substitute in Unique: StringMatchQ[#, StringExpression @@ With[{each = p__ /; endsWithSpaceQ@p}, Table[each /. p -> Unique[], {2}]] ~~ "17"] & /@ {str1, str2}

@hYPotenuser Believe me I understand your frustration; this (to the best of my knowledge) is one of those peculiar missing pieces you think should be there but isn't. If you give a more representative example I might be able to give another recommendation. Also consider the number of forms that have to be tried; it may be better to abandon pattern matching and parse the string yourself, e.g. StringSplit or whatever, then work from there.

I'll play with it a bit, but seeing that a Wizard doesn't know a general solution to what seems to be a pretty elementary problem suggests that one might not exist and I should start thinking about hacking around the specific case. | |
