Following is a short script that I was writing for a friend.  However, what I found in testing it, was that the following interval {4} was acting like {4,}

Note specifically the test on $macadd4.

Enjoy....:)

Thanks,
Mike

Actually, I tested it further, and found that a regex of:

[0-9a-f\.]

Works like:
[0-9a-f\.]+
