Passing Value to EasyPattern

[kpassaur]

I am trying to remove duplicates with an EasyPattern. I will be having a file name that uses a separator. The user can select the separator so it will be a variable. I do not want more than one separator in a row. So it is similar to removing double spaces only it is double charactors.

This works:

Let>filename=asdfa___sdf_DFSD__123
Let>%FS%=_
Let>pattern=[oneOrMore '_']
RegEx>pattern,filename,1,matches,num,1,%FS%,text
MessageModal>text

However, when I pass it as a variable it does not

Let>filename=asdfa___sdf_DFSD__123
Let>%FS%=_
Let>pattern=[oneOrMore '%FS%']
RegEx>pattern,filename,1,matches,num,1,%FS%,text
MessageModal>text

Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?

It should be:

Let>filename=asdfa___sdf_DFSD__123
Let>FS=_
Let>pattern=[oneOrMore '%FS%']
RegEx>pattern,filename,1,matches,num,1,%FS%,text
MessageModal>text

Thanks - I see what I did.
