Thanks. Yea, that didnt seem to work either and I am thinking I have to be over thinking this. So here is a copy of a small part of the config that I grabbed of a router and made sure that the NCM config I was comparing it to was the same. I added the \n as you suggested and tested against the config. It came back as violated even though, obviously, the config is there. In the detailed it shows the config but it puts it all on one line and say string "was not found".
ip access-list extended POS-inboundfilter\n
