I currently have a script that parses interfaces from a switch configuration.
Sample Text I Currently Parse: untagged Interface GigabitEthernet 1/2 untagged Interface GigabitEthernet 10/2
Code I use today: if ($parse =~ m/^untagged Interface GigabitEthernet (\d{1,2})\/(\d{1,2 +})/)/) { $slot = $1; $port = $2; ...Misc Code... }
Everything works fine, except now the CLI has changed slightly to better aggregate contiguous interfaces used (e.g. 1/3-5).
Sample New Text to Parse: untagged Interface GigabitEthernet 1/2,1/3-5,1/12,1/40
How can I extend my current approach to present the following output? I was thinking of using split with ","'s, but I can't figure out a way to identify the delta between "-"'s? Thanks in advance!
Output I need to make: untagged Interface GigabitEthernet 1/2 untagged Interface GigabitEthernet 1/3 untagged Interface GigabitEthernet 1/4 untagged Interface GigabitEthernet 1/5 untagged Interface GigabitEthernet 1/12 untagged Interface GigabitEthernet 1/40
