An implementation can easily do this substitution itself before passing the pattern to the regex engine it prefers to use. (I think this is what libyang is actually doing, I think it uses pcre internally.) YANG 1.0 and 1.1 are pretty clear which pattern syntax they use. Implementations should try to support that. /js -- Juergen Schoenwaelder Jacobs University Bremen gGmbH Phone: +49 421 200 3587 Campus Ring 1 | 28759 Bremen | Germany Fax: +49 421 200 3103 <http://www.jacobs-university.de/> _______________________________________________ netmod mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/netmod
