Compliance Report Interface config block Regex Help

saw10

I am setting up a compliance report for Interfaces setting.

The Config block Selection Is where I am having the issue

INTERFACE NAMES
interface 1/1 - 1/48
interface 1/A1
interface 2/1 - 2/48
interface 2/A1
etc. 

The basic selection is working 
^interface ([1-8]\/[1-48])|[1-48])  Cover all the above interfaces

Now I want to exclude interfaces
interface 1/A1
interface 2/A1
etc.

Would have though that this should work
^interface ([1-8]\/[^A][1-48])|[1-48])
But of course it does not.
Please Help.

Hi there, 

You need to use the negative lookahead syntax of (?!A), please see below:

Here is the Regex string I am using, there is no capture groups however so you'll need to add them:

^interface \d+\/(?!A)\d+ - \d+\/\d+

Let me know how that works for you
