regex not working

W2K TS, TST 5.5.2 + SP2B

Here's the server's templating.cfg:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE templating SYSTEM "templating5.0.dtd">

<templating>
.
.
.
<category name="I_Want_to">
<data-type name="I_Want_to_Public" dcr-type="iwov">
<locations>
<branch vpath-regex="^/default/main/vanguard/internet/vanguardcom/freshness/Dis_Marketing/.*" />
</locations>
<presentation>
<template name="I_Want_to_Public.tpl" extension="html" />
</presentation>
</data-type>
.
.
.

When navigated to the Dis_Marketing sub-branch, the category is available, but not the datatype. With regex as follows instead, the datatype is available.

regex="^/default/main/vanguard/internet/vanguardcom/freshness/Dis_Marketing"/>

There's a Dis_Marketing_Prod sister sub-branch where I don't want the datatype to be available; I want to restrict to Dis_Marketing.

What's going on? Can someone help?

By the way, this regex gives the deisred behavior as well:

<branch vpath-regex="^/default/main/vanguard/internet/vanguardcom/freshness/Dis_Marketing$"/>

At the Dis_Marketing branch, the vpath is:

/default/main/vanguard/internet/vanguardcom/freshness/Dis_Marketing

which would not satisfy the regex:

^/default/main/vanguard/internet/vanguardcom/freshness/Dis_Marketing/.*

Your other post suggested the regex:

^/default/main/vanguard/internet/vanguardcom/freshness/Dis_Marketing$

which will be satisfied by the vpath above. However, I'm guessing that you also want Dis_Marketing's sub-branches to pass the regex, but not Dis_Marketing_Prod and its sub-branches. So, try a regex like this:

^/default/main/vanguard/internet/vanguardcom/freshness/Dis_Marketing(/.*)*$

which essentially says that either nothing follows "Dis_Marketing", or a slash ("/") (and more stuff) does.
