For starters, regular expression support in Create Lists isn't the
same as egrep. For example, try using a pipe, question mark, back
reference, character class, or performing a case sensitive search.
It's best to test expressions on records that are in the system rather
than using another utility.

Even when the regular expression support is exactly the same for the
need at hand, sometimes the field you are matching against may not be
stored the way you expect.
