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
