Well that's what I thought too... - so I tried many many possibilities.
However the strange this is - now that you said it and I tried it again.
It only works for ) , not for (
(I first only tried opening parentheses so thought it is not working at
all...)
name ~ '.*\(' { set name='${name|subst:"(=>"}'; echo "namehasbracket=1" }
name ~ '.*\)' { set name='${name|subst:")=>"}'; echo "namehasbracket=2" }
second rule is working, first rule not working...
Also not working is:
'.*\Q(\E'
or
'.*[(]'

Hi Felix,
