Answer:
Hi Chris,

in regexp you need to use double backslash for quoting - so it becomes "\\|"

It appears that the vertical bar '|' cannot be backslash-escaped in a regexp. Attempting to do so gives a "badly formed token" error.

Thank you, sir! That was of course the answer.

Too much time working in a programming language where regexps are first-class citizen, I suppose.
