Cross-version regular expression...

I'm trying to get regular expression matching working on both bash v3
as well as v4.

The following works on v4 (under RHEL6), but not under bash 3.00.15
(under RHEL4):

[[ "6Server" =~ ([0-9]+)(.*) ]]

This works on 3.00.15, but not under RHEL6's bash (4.1.2):

[[ "6Server" =~ '([0-9]+)(.*)' ]]

The prior actually throws a syntax error, so I can't even code around
the syntax based on evaluation of $BASH_VERSINFO.

Any thoughts on how to do this in a portable way?

Thanks,
Ray
