Pattern Match for MAC address
Hi
I have 2 strings:
00-0F-B7-21-22-44:ess-Mide
00:0F:B7:21:20:A8:ess-Mide
How to create a pattern match for them using the rules in: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc755272(WS.10).aspx
Is the following correct?
00\-|\:0F\-|\:B7\-|\:22|0\
Thanks,
Luchuan

how about
([0-9A-F]{2}[:-]){5}ess-Mi
([0-9A-F]{2}[:-]){5}ess-Mi
I made the assumption you would want to match other hex delimited values ending with 'ess-Mident-Wireless'

@nullsquid though this NPS regEx syntax is new to me, just thinking abt any regEx engine impl, i wonder how the matcher would figure out the LHS and RHS of an or statement without bounds.
E.g. according to my understanding
00\-|\:0F\-|\:B7\-|\:21\-|
would match "00-" as well!

00\-|\:0F\-|\:B7\-|\:21\-|

00\-|\:0F\-|\:B7\-|\:21\-|
will also match...
"8:ess-Mident-Wireless"
will also match...
"8:ess-Mident-Wireless"
@sdstuber however stupid this sounds, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc755272%28WS.10%29.aspx doesn't list ranged expressions ([0-9]) as supported!
([0-9A-F]{2}[:-]){5}ess-Mi
^^^^^^
([0-9A-F]{2}[:-]){5}ess-Mi
^^^^^^
it doesn't in the character list column but it uses them in the examples so I made the assumption they were supported
For example:
\d Matches a digit character (equivalent to [0-9]).
if they really aren't supported though (yuck) then change
[0-9A-F]
to
[0123456789ABCDEF]

In trying to get these to work I found there is a bug in Windows NPS:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2599437
Things only worked after I applied this hotfix.
I also noticed I had incorrectly posted the MACs - both use a "-" as separator not ":"
final code:
00-0F-B7-21-22-44:ess-Mide
00-0F-B7-21-20-A8:ess-Mide
00[-]0F[-]B7[-]21[-](20|22

more correct?
