Hi, 

Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I don't understand why this replacement regex adds "MyString" after $1.

Thanks in advance

    Because you use a greedy regex, no real start or end point. 
    Try with ^(.*)$ instead.

    Thanks!!
    Even though only ^(.*) is really needed in this case, I'll use the $ also. Just to avoid forget ir next time. :)
