On the other hand, if I enter =REGEX("29791","(?=(29|79|97))",,1)
I get a zero length string.
Can anyone help please?

(?=pattern) is a zero-width positive lookahead assertion. For example,
/\w+(?=\t)/ matches a word followed by a tab, without including the tab.
So it looks to me like you are trying to match nothing followed by a 29,
and you are successfully matching nothing.
=REGEX("29791","((78|87))",,1) tells me "#N/A" , which I suppose is
what you get when a regex fails. Yours succeeds and returns an empty
string.
