Saying I've got "\1", how can i get the first letter or second letter of it?
or characters from the second letter to its length.

Change your regex to return just the characters you want. If you want a more specific reply you will need to provide examples of what you are trying to achieve.

i see, that's kind of annoying though.
would be much more comfortable if i could take a substring from the sub pattern.
i used your solution though since there's no other way apparently.

It is straightforward to extract a substring - but you will need to use JavaScript in a Script method.

but then you'd need to recreate the method too no?
