Are you responding to me?

0e35-353afe-3afe19-fe19 has dashes.  Either it came that way or your
regex works (at least partially).  If it came that way, then your
searchfor will never work because it is not expecting those dashes.  If
it didn't come that way, I'd be surprised because it doesn't look like
your regex should do that.

Try running the server in debug mode and send us the output.  You may be
surprised by what it tells you.

As to the link, look again.  It wasn't meant to fix your regex, it was
meant to suggest an alternative way to do what you are doing (you still
need to figure out the regex).  It has instructions on how to rewrite a
username using regex (exactly what you are trying to do) with just the
hints file.  It is a bit more elegant and will likely rewrite the
username sooner in the processing, allowing you to use the new username
in huntgroups, etc.
