Great! I doubled the backslashes, and it seems to be working now. Thank you very much!

Your problem is here. Those backslashes need to be escaped in the string literal.

 

Since this code was generated by GRC then this would seem to be a bug in GRC, unless it's really intended to accept backslash escapes inside an un-quoted string in which case you need to double all the backslashes or just use forward slashes.
