Extract text: "area_name"\s*:\s*"([^"]+)"

Use 0.45.12 to get "area_name" value. it's none
Use 0.45 to get "area_name" value. i get the value "study"

May I ask if there are any updates on the requirements for regular expressions in the latest version?

Version
0.45.12
0.45

Thank you for developing this tool.

Actually in this case you should be using the JSON selector, just use

jq:.data.area_name or json:.data.area_name

the other change was that the UI always said to wrap the regex in /.../ (perl style)

"Regular expression ‐ example /reports.+?2022/i"

but it was never enforced, some people are using "extract text" to pull single keywords instead of regex, so it was confusing either way, now it is enforced.
