I am trying to find the pattern using oracle sql developer. Include numbers that are "x0000"," 0000",".0000"
AND REGEXP_INSTR(string=>FTP.TEXT, pattern=>'[x]\d\d\d\d\s', match_parameter=>'i')

You can use REGEXP_LIKE as follows:
SQL> --sample data
SQL> with your_data(id,str) as
2 (select 1, 'x0000' from dual union all
3 select 2, '.0000' from dual union all
4 select 3, ' 0000'from dual union all
5 select 4, '0000' from dual) -- this should not be in the result
6 -- your query starts from here
7 select * from your_data
8 where REGEXP_like(str,'[x| |\.][0-9]{4}','i');
ID STR
---------- -----
1 x0000
2 .0000
3 0000
SQL>
Use
where REGEXP_LIKE(str,'[x.[:space:]]\d{4}','i')
The [x.[:space:]]\d{4} expression matches x, . or any whitespace, then any four digit characters.
