How to use match groups in language regexp?

  • Hi all,
    Is it possible to use regexp match groups in language statements?
    I have a strings like

    *A:R2>config>filter>ip-filter>entry$ match protocol "tcp"
*A:R2>config>filter>ip-filter# info

    and I want to highlight just the remaining after the $ sign on line 1
    and after the # sign on line 2

    I use a regexp which goes like this
    \*??[AB]:.*?[#$]\s(.+?\n)
    specifying that I need to match just the group in brackets. But I end up with the whole strings matched.
