Alan, "" Perl supports "\w" in regular expressions. Posix expressions (which the libraries from your system the server uses) do not support "\w".""
how do I tell which 'libraries' are being used hence the supported regex syntax/capabilities?

I do this DEFAULT Calling-Station-Id =~ "([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])-([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])-([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])- ([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])-([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])-([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])" User-Name := `%{1}%{2}%{3}%{4}%{5}%{6}` Instead of getting a mac address with no '-' I get a long weird combination of hex and '-'. I mapped out the ${x} groups and they are not what I expect for example: 11-c0-4f-40-47-b4 becomes groups %{1} = 11 %{2} = c0-4f %{3} = 4f-40-47 %{4} = 40-47-b4 %{5} = 47-b4 %{6} = b4 Is my regex wrong or what?

And if you're going to use %{0}, you don't need regular expressions. Just use "%{Calling-Station-Id}" > However, in debug mode I can see that User-Name is not modified. > > In perl i can use the regex below and it seems to work Perl supports "\w" in regular expressions.
