Yeah, that's what I did. The small repro just shows that it doesn't affect the string with the \'s whatsoever... If there were actual instances of \\ in there maybe it would do something, but there are only \'s. Seems like for the saving down of the property, it uses escape characters, but for the substitution part, it doesn't. I'd call it a bug I think.

It seems it may need some scripting. All I'm really trying to do is: if(property1.indexOf(string1) >= 0) then return true; I'll take a look at how to achieve this tomorrow. Thanks!
