Re: regex matching can be convinced to be TRUE if you're insistive enough?

right, the false positive matches for the regex are now gone, thanks!

That's good to hear.

However, looks like the regex comparison stops after 1023 Bytes, if I actually put a matching pattern beyond that mark, the result keeps being FALSE.

Any chance to allow for a longer string?

$ git pull It's a simple fix.

The concrete use case I have is that group membership attributes are pulled via ldap.attrmap, and if a user is in many groups, checking the group membership with [*] and a regex can easily go beyond 1023 Bytes.

A better fix would be to be able to do loop over attributes, doing checks for each one. But that's getting into the area of a real programming language... Alan DeKok.
