in thread use of useless void in context

I agree. From what I can tell, the OP could use a backreference instead ( \1, \2, etc ), but I can't quite puzzle out what the OP is trying to accomplish.

    Considering the OP is using all his backreferences outside of the pattern itself, I don't see where the OP should use a \1 instead of a $1.
