RE: Regex syntax problems?
Escape your backslashes.

I recommend that you do not use the RegExp constructor with a literal string, because in literal strings, backslashes must be escaped. The regular expression \w+ can be created as re = /\w+/ or as re = new RegExp("\\w+"). The latter is definitely harder to read. The regular expression \\ matches a single backslash. In JavaScript, this becomes re = /\\/ or re = new RegExp("\\\\").
