What is format string in DSM Editor
What are the possible format string in the DSM editor? I know what regex is but am stuck with the format string field.
The Format string is a combination of regex capture groups and delimiters. For example, you might want to parse an IP address and port to combine them both into a string. If your regular expression had two capture groups, the format string you use to combine them might look something like this: $1:$2.
You will more than likely just want to use $1 for capture group 1.

Thanks! I've used $0 as I'm using a simple regex with only 1 capture group.
In my experience, the format string field is also kinda weird because a capture on a digit expects you to enter just the number of the capture group in the UI, e.g. 1, where a capture group on a string value expects you to enter the format string as $1.
