      String input = sc.nextLine();
      String regex = "(?<globalCode>[\d]{2})-(?<nationalCode>[\d]{5})-(?<number>[\d]{6})";
      //Creating a pattern object
      Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(regex);
      //Matching the compiled pattern in the String
      Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(input);
      while (matcher.find()) {
         System.out.println("Global code: "+matcher.group("globalCode"));
         System.out.println("National code: "+matcher.group("nationalCode"));
