Re: [hylafax-users] ModemGroup not working

["Atilla Gündüz" <gunduz.atilla@xxxxxxxxx>]

that's it: regex is the magic word.

I think this will work.

ttyS(2[8])|(3[0-4])

ModemGroup uses regex as it's matching mechanism.  The above is valid regex
but I'm guessing it's not meaning what you want.

      A bracket _expression_ is a list of characters enclosed in `[]'.  It nor-
      mally matches any single character from the list (but see  below).   If
      the  list  begins  with  `^',  it matches any single character (but see
      below) not from the rest of the list.  If two characters  in  the  list
      are  separated  by `-', this is shorthand for the full range of charac-
      ters between those two (inclusive) in the collating sequence, for exam-
      ple,  `[0-9]' in ASCII matches any decimal digit.  It is illegal(!) for
      two ranges to share an endpoint, for example, `a-c-e'.  Ranges are very
      collating-sequence-dependent,  and portable programs should avoid rely-
      ing on them.

So [28,30,32,34] is equivelant to [,02348], meaning that your _expression_ will
match devicd that as the first chracterter after the ttyS being a 0, 2, 3, 4,
8, or a comma.
