[hobbit] PCRE expression question

Hi,

Galen Johnson wrote :

This works:

PORT "LOCAL=%\.:$" state=LISTEN

But this doesn't...

PORT "LOCAL=%[\.:]86?1$" state=LISTEN

I'm hoping fresh eyes will see what stupid thing I've missed...

That's because "?" matches 0 or 1 character, and applies to the 6. Try :

PORT "LOCAL=%[\.:]86[0-9]1$" state=LISTEN

(means 86 then some number, then 1, then end)

? has not the same meaning in pcre than in shell.
