Re: [analog-help] error for hostalias regexp

[Jeremy Wadsack]

In a regular expressions (perl style) [] is used to signify a character 
class -- that is a set of characters that can match the pattern. So [96] 
means match a 9 or a 6. You can use '-' to specify a range of 
characters, so that [0-9] means any single digit between 0 and 9. In 
your reg exp, your character class is trying to match 9, any character 
between 6 and 1, 2, or 7. So the error is that you can't have a range 
(6-1) where the second value is below the first.

Analog now supports ranges without REGEXP and CIDR notation for 
selecting IP ranges. Try this instead:

       HOSTALIAS 66.153.70.96-127 mylabel
It's also much easier to read. :-)
See http://www.analog.cx/docs/include.html for more details.

i'm trying to use hostalias regexp to map a range of IP numbers to a value. something like 

HOSTALIAS REGEXP:^66\.153\.70\.[96-127] mylabel
the error i get is 
c:\logs\analog\analog: Warning C: Bad argument in configuration command:
 ignoring it:
 HOSTALIAS REGEXP:^66\.153\.70\.[96-127] mylabel
c:\logs\analog\analog: ...cont..:   (range out of order in character class in
 regular expression)

what simple and blindingly obvious mistake am i making here?
thanks,
