REGEX in Policy Compliance Check

[#1]

Trying to use regex in a policy compliance rule to check OSPF areas and when I test the policy keep getting errors stating the line does not exist.

The regex is 

area (1\.1\.1\.1|2\.2\.2\.2|3\.3\.3\.3|4\.4\.4\.4|5\.5\.5\.5|8\.8\.8\.8) stub

and the config I'm testing against contains the line

area 3.3.3.3 stub 100 no-summary

I've tried escaping with / at various points in the statement with no improvement.

Any suggestions?

Do all the configs look something like this

area 3.3.3.3 stub 100 no-summary

Or some that might have 

area 1.1.1.1 stub 100 no-summary

 etc...

The area will be 1.1.1.1, 2.2.2.2, 3.3.3.3, 4.4.4.4, 5.5.5.5 or 8.8.8.8 depending upon where in our environment it exists.  Which is why I was using (x.x.x.x|y.y.y.y) as a selector.
