Hi Lidev,

 

Thank you for the curly braces reference - that certainly "fix" the TCL EXPR part of the script with the extra bracket set, which appears to affect the downstream parts before.

 

The script is basically functioning now - (yipee) except a really weird issue where if TCP port 6000 is used, it won't match nor even log any error messages etc - nothing! If the say 7000 (or anything not in the 6000s range) is used instead, works perfectly. The 7000 substitution proves the script is working but unable at this stage to analyse why "6000" etc will not????

 

Cheers

Drew
