I've been fighting to make my regexps work, and after unfruitful struggle I decided to check if just the $1 variable works... seems that it does not.
As you can see from the rules below, I have the same specific (test) regexp using either $1 or written out two-character string. The first one does not work, the latter does.
This is a pity, as I've written many QA rules and I find the regexps extremely powerful. I don't have any problems when not using the back-references to source match. However, if you cannot refer to the matches in source, the possibilities are very limited.
I would appreciate any help.
Kind regards,
Jussi
