address rewriting help

I'm afraid I'm a bit rusty with regards to rewriting and pattern matching. What I'm trying to do is rewrite the sender
address where the local part starts with either F or S followed by 8 digits, for example

S01234567 [at] example needs to be rewritten as S01234567 [at] another

I've tried the following rule

\N[fs]\d{8}\N [at] example $1 [at] another Ffrs

but it doesn't seem to match:

exim -d -C /usr/local/exim/conftest1 -brw S01234567 [at] example
trusted user
admin user
changed uid/gid: privilege not needed
uid=7000 gid=7000 pid=32384
auxiliary group list: 7000
user name "root" extracted from gecos field "root"
originator: uid=0 gid=0 login=root name=root
address match: subject=s01234567 [at] example pattern=[fs]\d{8}@example.com
s01234567 [at] example in "[fs]\d{8}@example.com"? no (end of list)

I'm obviously missing something somewhere. Could someone point me in the right direction (I've already looked in the
Exim doc, before anyone tells me to rtfm :) )

Thanks

As far as I remember the rewriting is not case-independant, so use
'[fsFS]' instead.
