I'm trying to edit my prefixes' AS path regex in BGPmon, and when I add a '\s' in the Regular expression field, upon save, the '\' is stripped. Is this expected behavior? The workaround is to insert a '\\s' instead, but one needs to remember to do this on every edit, and I tend to forget which results in panicking the others on our team with false positives. -cjp
I'm not familiar with BGPmon but your symptoms sounds like typical programming issue. The '\' is stripped probably due to a "Stripslashes" function in the code. So by doing double '\\' you kinda trick the code into only doing the first one. I don't really know of any way around this.

I believe this should be fixed now, please try again. Contact me directly (andree at bgpmon.net) if the problem persists or if you have any other bgpmon.net questions. Alternatively, as a replacement for \s you can also just use a white space for example: (6327|13768|852) 271$ Cheers, Andree
