Hello,

Im trying to run a regexp query for the below string but I keep getting `Bad String` error.. Any ideas?

Actual substring i want to match within a string is `"verbs"=>["*"]`

```auto
{
  "query": {
    "regexp": {
      "data.aws.eks.requestObject.rulesString.keyword": {
        "value": "\"verbs\"\=\>\[\"\*\"\]",
        "flags": "ALL"
      }
    }
  }
}

```
