oh i think I had a space before the javascript and that's why it seemed to
work (as a space, not emptyu)
You can always use __javaScript function to check the value of the variable
against the default.
e.g. in the regex specify the default value as NOT_FOUND
and in the parameter specify
${__javaScript('${YOUR_VAR}' == 'NOT_FOUND' ? '': '${YOUR_VAR}')}
