' Needs reference "Microsoft VBScript Regular Expressions 5.5"
Dim rRegex As Object
Set rRegex = CreateObject("VBScript.RegExp")

rRegex.Pattern = "[0-9]{8,9}"   ' 8 or 9 numbers
MsgBox rRegex.test("12345678")  ' True

rRegex.Pattern = "[0-9]+"       ' Numeric of any size
MsgBox rRegex.test("12345")     ' True

[0-9]
But for matching any number of more than one char/digit; add "+":
[0-9]+

grep "[0-9]\+\:[0-9]\+" file.txt
