Thank you very much Peter.
I also found that putting the regex entry in single quotes - as in my above
examples - does not give me the expected results. As per your example, the
regex entries are properly parsed when entries start and end with a forward
slash.
I hope this helps somebody else down the line.
Cheers and thanks again.
Mike
