Thanks Michal and Mike - that did the trick. I had seen the '_g1' suffix stuff in the documentation, but it failed to register because I simply expected the variable to be the same as the result of computing the template for the replacement string of the regex function. Thinking about it I guess this provides the ultimate flexibility - I can always reconstruct the template if I need the same string elsewhere. Would it make sense to also allow the variable to be used in without the suffix (i.e. in the manner I was expecting)?
