I am trying to use variables to hold the regex exppression to make it easier to code, and I'm running into one issue parsing firewall logs.

When I call the same regex variable multiple times the first group returns the correct result but the second one shows part of the first IP address.

-- Sample data Mar 10 07:42:38 DR-FW-1 : %ASA-6-305011: Built dynamic UDP translation from inside:172.28.17.130/3324 to outside(internet-traffic):69.176.102.83/24295

output: re1 -> 172.28.17.130 re2 -> 17. ------------------------------------------ my $Raw_Log = ""; my $re_ipv4 = qr/(([2]([0-4][0-9]|[5][0-5])|[0-1]?[0-9]?[0-9])[.]){3}( +([2]([0-4][0-9]|[5][0-5])|[0-1]?[0-9]?[0-9]))/; # Open file to read lines my $logfile = $ARGV[0]; my $linenum = 0; open(LOGFILEHD, $logfile); while( <LOGFILEHD>){ $Raw_Log = $_; print "$Raw_Log\n"; $Raw_Log =~ /($re_ipv4).*($re_ipv4)/; print "re1 -> $1\n"; print "re2 -> $2\n"; $linenum += 1; } close(LOGFILEHD);

  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
