Re: [SR-Users] Using =~ to get the group identifier with longest match

Hi Iñaki,

if you just want to have the longest match on a prefix tree, this is what carrierroute was build for.

In case $rU = "999999" I need to get "null", in case $rU = "1000022323" I need to get "1".

Its works a bit differently, but this is similar to the logic that we use. You've a bunch of specific prefixes with special routing, normal country prefixes that you want to route differently and then a default routing for the rest.

Best regards,
