iRule with two data groups both using external files one working (addr) and one not (str)

I have an iRule in place that checks the IP address of an off-site host, then it checks the IP address of the client and with a class match to see if it is contained in an external file (type addr)...

I was basing my original string file on the following link:

https://devcentral.f5.com/articles/irules-data-group-formatting-rules

which shows:

String Classes

With string classes, quotes are necessary on the types and values:


[internal class] 
class str_testclass { 
    { 
    "str1" { "value 1" } 
    "str2" { "value 2" } 
    } 
}   

[external class] 
class str_testclass_ext { 
    type string 
    filename "/var/class/str_testclass.class" 
    separator ":=" 
    }

[/var/class/str_class.class] 
"str1" := "value 1", 
"str2" := "value 2",

so I built my file as I saw in the bottom of the link for string classes

"str1" := "value 1",

and so forth
