case-statement regex

[O'Connell, Ryan]

Using version 3.0.10.  Can’t seem to implement regex matching with case statements.  The request always results in “def” even though the string in the request contains “abc".

switch DHCP-Subscriber-Id {
	case "/(abc)$/" {
		update control {
			&Pool-Name := “abc"
		}
	}
	case {
		update control {
			&Pool-Name := “def"
		}
	}
        }


I have tried a bunch of different variations of the “case” without success.  If I use the entire string in the case statement then I get the intended result “abc”.

switch DHCP-Subscriber-Id {
	case 001122334455 at abc {
		update control {
			&Pool-Name := “abc"
		}
	}
	case {
		update control {
			&Pool-Name := “def"
		}
	}
}


Does anyone have a suggestion on how to implement this?  I haven’t been able to find examples in the documentation or google about doing this specifically.  The same logic implemented with if/else works fine but I was hoping to use switch/case for performance.

if (&DHCP-Subscriber-Id =~ /(abc)$/){
	update control {
		&Pool-Name := “abc"
	}
}
else {
	update control {
		&Pool-Name := “def"
	}
}


Thanks,
Ryan
