Only if you write %{Class[*]} or %{&Class[*]}, i.e. you ask Freeradius 
to convert it into a string.

Don't do that. Try this:

if (&Class[*] =~ /pattern(.*)pattern/) {
     ... use %{1} to get the capture group
}

I think this should work if you are on FreeRADIUS 3.x.  That is, only 
the first match should be used.  (But I've not tested it myself)

That doesn't look empty to me. 54=T, 65=e, 63=s 74=t etc.

The underlying issue is that 'Class' is not a string attribute, so it's 
hard to treat it as such.  I have in the past modified the dictionary so 
that Class *is* a string.  But in general, it could contain binary data, 
and FreeRADIUS isn't great at handling that if the dictionary says the 
attribute is a String.
