I tried the '.' as well with the same issue (kept showing 0 instances)...I think I'll just go with the [1-9]...thanks.

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=%[\.:](8611|8621|8631)$" state=LISTEN
But this doesn't...
PORT "LOCAL=%[\.:]86?1$" 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
HTH,
Paul
