Why? I think you have misunderstood something, but I am not sure what. The pattern "(tell(?C1))" matches just "tell". Why do you think it should match "tellcall"? > Since the callout part is also within the scope of $0, I > suppose the output is > <..>tellcall<...> I do not understand anything about "$0=ENTITY:callout:ADV/ADV" because that is not part of PCRE. The (?C1) part of the pattern passes control to your callout function, with information about what it has matched in the pattern. However, all that the function can do is either say "carry on" (return code 0) or "stop". Are you perhaps expecting something else?
