[Mapserver-users] 3.7 DATAPATTERN

Dear List,

I'm struggling with changin the datasource dynamically via cgi. This 
requires the new DATAPATTERN-Parameter in MS 3.7. I tried different 
settings with the following results:

DATAPATTERN /./ results in

getString(): Symbol definition error. (.):(16)

DATAPATTERN '/./' seems to work but results in

msEvalRegex(): Regular expression error. String (raster/myTIF.tif) failed 
expression test.

DATAPATTERN '.'

results in the generation of a new Map, but still the Data isn't displayed. 
I guess I'm getting something totally wrong. Is anybody able to give me an 
example on the usage of DATAPATTERN.

Tanks in advance
Oliver
