'f' is not a digit.

By the way, \d works fine outside of character classes ([]).

    That was a great lesson in Regex. Thank you so much. I can see I have a long way to go before mastering this stuff. I expected to see a digit and for some reason the output was alpha as you pointed out. Thanks again.

    I also pickup on your second comment. I believe though have not yet tested you are telling my I can look for \d instead of the word "netmask" or "broadcast" So I will try this too.

      The second comment simply says that /...[\d].../ can be written as /...\d.../

        I am having a very weird issue with the Linux portion of my script. Using the same method as I did on the Unix side, my output is empty.

        my ($ip, $bcast, $mask) = /\binet addr:([\d.]+)\sBcast:([\d.]+)\sMask:
+([\d.]+)/

        So I tried a different method

        my ($ip, $bcast, $mask) = /\binet addr:([\d.]+)\s.+:([\d.]+)\s.+:([\d.
+]+)/

        This actually finds the correct Interface, IP and Broadcast, but an irronious Netmask

        cccadm@ccasec1::perl: ./ipandos.pl
Hello, your operating system is: linux
Interface 1 has the IP Address of 10.241.37.199
        Netmask: 808
        Broadcast: 255.255.255.0

        The ifconfig on Linux is slightly different. Here is what it looks like for one interface....

        eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:19:B9:EB:80:8F
          inet addr:10.241.37.199  Bcast:10.241.37.255  Mask:255.255.2
+55.0
          inet6 addr: 3ffe:80c0:22c:225:219:b9ff:feeb:808f/64 Scope:Gl

          inet6 addr: fe80::219:b9ff:feeb:808f/64 Scope:Link
