NCM Policy Reporter Config Block Regex

I am using the NCM Policy Reporter to look for lack of bpduguard except when the description contains Uplink or the interface is not configured. I mostly have figured this out using Config blocks however I can't determine a way to identify instances when there is nothing configured (tried .^ for example.) Sample interfaces:

interface GigabitEthernet2/1/1

interface GigabitEthernet2/1/2

I am using interface GigabitEthernet.* and ! to identify the start and end of the block respectively. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks all.

Hello,

/\d\n!

Indicates interface with no configuration (In searching Block: slash, number, newline, exclamation mark)

This RegEx expression works on InterfaceTypeX/X/X format.

Different rule will be for X/X/XX:

/(\d|\d\d)\n!

I think you need to put some parenthesis in there and create a 2nd condition where nothing is found.

(this or this or this) or (nothing)

I'm using a slightly different approach. Each interface is prefixed with a "type" tag. Such as "trunk: " or "computer: " if non of those prefixes are found or the interface does not have a valid description then it should find "shutdown" in the config.

Thanks for the suggestions but have not been successful. I wonder if it is the way the Policy Reporter interprets the config block...

In the screenshot the interfaces shown are empty.
