It looks like you have \1 \2 \3 etc in your regex instead of \\1 \\2 \\3.
Just on regex syntax, you can use Groovy's slashy string terminators
abc = /\d\s\1/
and you don't need the double backslashes or alternatively you can use
the multiline regex modifier (?x) and multiline strings so you can write
regex's with formatting and comments like:
re = '''(?x) # to enable whitespace and comments
( # capture the hostname in $1
(?: # these parens for grouping only
(?! [-_] ) # lookahead for neither underscore nor dash
[\\w-] + # hostname component
\\. # and the domain dot
) + # now repeat that whole thing a bunch of times
[A-Za-z] # next must be a letter
[\\w-] + # now trailing domain part
) # end of $1 capture
'''

Hello,
I have a webtest groovy script which has a verifyXPath call with the
following regex:
// Verify datetime format "DDD MMM dd hh:mm:ss T yyyy"
static final String DATETIME_REGEX =
"^(?=\\d)(?:(?:(?:(?:(?:0?[13578]|1[02])" +
"(\\/|-|\\.)31)\1|(?:(?:0?[1,3-9]|1[0-2])" +
"(\\/|-|\\.)(?:29|30)\2))(?:(?:1[6-9]|[2-9]\\d)" +
"?\\d{2})|(?:0?2(\\/|-|\\.)29\3(?:(?:(?:1[6-9]|[2-9]\\d)" +
"?(?:0[48]|[2468][048]|[13579][26])|(?:(?:16|[2468][048]|[3579][26])00))))"
+
"|(?:(?:0?[1-9])|(?:1[0-2]))(\\/|-|\\.)(?:0?[1-9]|1\\d|2[0-8])" +
"\4(?:(?:1[6-9]|[2-9]\\d)?\\d{2}))(\$|\\ (?=\\d)))?(((0?[1-9]|1[012])" +
"(:[0-5]\\d){0,2}(\\ [AP]M))|([01]\\d|2[0-3])(:[0-5]\\d){1,2})?\$"
Webtest throws an exception when trying to write the results to xml:

Is there something else I can do so webtest doesn't try to write this
regex to the result file?
Thanks,
Lars
