You can match most with globs and put extra code within case 4 to trap non-digits between the '/' chars:

Code:
case "command[a_]=/9/rest" in
       command)
            echo "Case 1 = TRUE"
        ;;
        command\[[a-z0-9]*\])
            echo "Case 2 = TRUE"
        ;;
        command\[[a-z0-9]*\]=)
            echo "Case 3 = TRUE"
        ;;
        command\[[A-z0-9]*\]=/*/*)
            # check using grep for bad value inbetween / and /
            echo "Case 4 = TRUE"
        ;;
        *)
            echo "IN Default Case, NONE ARE TRUE"
        ;;

NAME

       Hash::Case::Lower - hash with enforced lower cased keys

INHERITANCE

	Hash::Case::Lower
	  is a Hash::Case
	  is a Tie::StdHash

SYNOPSIS

	use Hash::Case::Lower;
	tie my(%lchash), 'Hash::Case::Lower';
	$lchash{StraNGeKeY} = 3;
	print keys %lchash;  # strangekey

DESCRIPTION

       Hash::Case::Lower extends Hash::Case, which lets you play various trics with hash keys. In this implementation, the fake hash is case
       insensitive and the keys stored in lower-case.

METHODS

       $obj->addHashData(HASH)
	   See "Constructors" in Hash::Case

       $obj->addPairs(PAIRS)
	   See "Constructors" in Hash::Case

       $obj->setHash(HASH)
	   See "Constructors" in Hash::Case

       tie(HASH, 'Hash::Case::Lower', [VALUES,] OPTIONS)
	   Define HASH to have only lower cased keys.  The hash is initialized with the VALUES, specified as ref-array (with key value pairs) or
	   ref-hash.  Currently, there are no OPTIONS defined.
