regex variables in rereplace

[Guest]

Is it possible to use regex variables with rereplace? For instance if I wanted to put brackets around the area code in a phone number, I'd like to do the below code, but it doesnt work, just sees the variable as a string

I believe you can back-reference matched substrings with the backslash character (instead of the dollar sign).

The official docs are more comprehensive (and a good place to START when
one has a query about CF):

Livedocs are pretty good, these days.
