in reply to Re^12: Bind zone file search
in thread Bind zone file search

By "commented," do you mean those containing either the "//" or "#" characters? Do you want to avoid all zone stanzas that contain those characters and use only those zone stanzas that don't contain those comment characters, i.e., "//" and "#"?

    right, I need to avoid stanzas that begin with the // or #

      Try the following modified regex in the subroutine:

      /(?<!#|\/)\s*zone\s+"([^"]+)".+?masters\s+{[\s#\/]*([a-zA-Z0-9.-]+)[\s +#\/;]*}/sg

      Added:

      (?<!#|\/)\s*zone ^ ^ ^ | | | | | + - 0+ whitespaces | + - Match "zone" and 0+ whitespaces that are not preceded by an " +#" or "/" + - Negative lookbehind
