Hey,

I know I'm just missing something simple and it's probably something I've overlooked but I'm having an issue with a regex in one of my port tests...

This works:

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

But this doesn't...

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

6? matches zero or one 6, so that is not what you want.

6. matches a six, followed by any character 6[1-3] matches a 6 followed by a one, two or three.

So you want: PORT "LOCAL=%[\.:]86[1-3]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.
