I am trying to replace "domain1" with "domain2" in the msrp(body). Following stmt works where in I specify domain strings as literals. var(modBody) = $(msrp(body){re.subst,/()(domain1)()/domain2/g}); I am having trouble making the same work with $var variables. See below - this code does not do the replacement - $var(domain1) = "()(domain1)()"; $var(domain2) = "domain2"; var(modBody2) = $(msrp(body){re.subst,/$var(domain1)/$var(domain2)/g}); Any clue/ideas or is it by design?
