in thread Test RegEx

As I stated, if the code I posted does not meet your spec, post intended input and output. Without that, anything I suggest is just guess work. Note that the posted solution above is a valid regular expression. The entire conditional line would look like:

if (@RECORD = grep (/^\s*password\s+requisite\s+(/lib/security/$ISA/)?pam_cracklib.*lcredit=([0123456789-]+)/, @fRecords )) {

Update: I missed the unescaped slashes, as Corion caught below. You either need to escape them or use a different delimiter, such as:

if (@RECORD = grep (m!^\s*password\s+requisite\s+(/lib/security/$ISA/)?pam_cracklib.*lcredit=([0123456789-]+)!, @fRecords )) {

As a side note, see how your character class was linkified? That happened because you did not wrap your code in code tags. See Writeup Formatting Tips and/or Markup in the Monastery.
