Subject: Re: Ruby regex match hex string

Hi,

What makes you think that only the last two pairs are matched? This is 
impossible, because you're using the \A and \Z anchors. Either the whole 
string matches or it doesn't match at all.

The regex is actually correct and it does match the example string.

However, you can leave out the {1} quantifier, because it has no effect 
(it means repeating the pattern exactly once). And you can make the 
regex shorter by using the "i" modifier, which makes it case 
insensitive:

/\A(?:[0-9a-f]{1,2},)*[0-9a-f]{1,2}\z/i
