probably better is
warn
set acl_m0 = ${if match{$h_Subject:}{<regex with capture
group>}{1$1}{0}}
# if it matched acl_m0 starts with "1" else with "0"
condition = ${length_1:$acl_m0}
# condition understands "1" and "0" so no need for "${if..."
logwrite = Notice: subject match is: ${substr_1:$acl_m0}
# need to chop off the first charcter for printing.

I usually use an acl_m variable in message context, and if it's of
temporary use I use a numbered variable, but that's just a convention
I have adopted.
