First, I'm very happy to see Source Links coming to VA!

Our bug system uses an ID field of 'S' followed by a 7-digit number.

Example: // For details of this bug, see S0650240.

I tried to create a source link with Keyword of S and Value of number but it doesn't identify these bug numbers.

It seems like I'd need a regex to pick them out. Should this be possible? If not, could we enter an enhancement request?

The URL I'd need to form would be formed using the whole ID.

Example: http://bugs.example.com/case/S0650240

Under the covers, we do support regex expressions. It is not officially exposed in the UI at this time.

The following is subject to change but is applicable to builds 2219-2223.

You can use regex expressions if you start the keyword text with re=

For your use, the following are examples that will work:

keyword: re=(?<Keyword>S)(?<Value>\d+)
url: http://bugs.example.com/case/$(Keyword)$(Value)

keyword: re=(?<Value>S\d+)
url: http://bugs.example.com/case/$(Value)


Improved UI for regex support is case=109206.

Running into a comparable situation myself. The disadvantages with the suggested regexps is that they also match inside words (f.e. AndroidS3 would be identified as a match with the regexp above). If I adjust the regexp to: re=(?<Keyword>\sS)(?<Value>\d+) (or alternatively simply: re=\sS(?<Value>\d+)) the above case would be handled correctly and S3 in AndroidS3 would not be marked. However this expression results in a different issue in that the leading space would then also be enclosed in the bracket for the source link which looks a bit ugly.

Is there any other suggestion to handle cases like these?

Use \b instead of \s.
