Close! The \ by the other character is a way of saying "this exact
character will exist". The "(.*)" is looking for one "item" matching any
number of instances (0 or more single character wildcard).
The fact that the "(" and ")" are specifically included will look for things
within a Confederation, since this is how they will appear within the AS
Path set.
Close though! I think you said it best though, they're most definitely
"irregular expressions"!!!

Hi Brian,
Thanks a lot for you post. I missed u lately.
^(\(.*\))?$
Waaw...what an Irregular expression:)
i would read it as follows...(correct me if read it mistakenly) all as-paths
that starts with ( and includes anything and ends with ) and repeated ONE or
more times!!!
I think it is typically what i need.
But i got this expressoin form the group too. I think it looks simpler. and
i guess that it does the same function.
^$ | \)$
^$ = local originated
\)$= in any other subAS
what is yr opnion?
Thanks
SAM

I'm not sure how you would keep some routers inside your AS confederated
and some not... instead what you need is an expression that will match
locally originated routes as well as those from your confederation peers.
This will do the trick:
^(\(.*\))?$
