Trying to write -regex for a find statement that shows only directories with dots and numbers, for example 1.2.3.4 oraz 1.2.3 or 1.3.4.5.6 was trying something like "-regex '.[0-9.]+'", but it also shows dirs with letters. And I only want directories with numbers and dots.

-regex matches the whole path:
find /path -type d -regex ".*/[0-9.]+"

But doesn't it allows letters on other positions?

You mean inside the path? Yes, this will find any directory which has only[0-9.]in its name, regardless of the path. If you want to match[0-9.]in the whole path use-regex "[0-9./]+"instead.

Standardly:
LC_ALL=C find /path ! -name '*[!0-9.]*' -type d
That is, list files of type directory whose name doesn't not contain a character other than decimal digit or ..
