Flux Variable in regex

Hey - Is it possible to use a variable in a regex filter? - Trying to do something like this:

foo = “/cpu1|cpu2/”
|> filter …
r._field =~ foo

Hello, This is what you want: regexp.compile() function | Flux 0.x Documentation

import "regexp"
foo = "cpu[0-2]"
//...
  r.cpu =~ regexp.compile(v: foo)
//...

You don’t need regexp.compile() for that, you just need to set your variable like regex:

// No quotes ("") here:
foo = /cpu1|cpu2/
|> filter …
r._field =~ foo
