jql syntax for a string of variables

[Alyssa Hill]

Hi there, I need to create a queue that searches for a specific value that has a string of numbers included in a text field. For example, the description field may contain text of:

Project xyz -VCTSI1234. 

Project abc -VCTSI1111

I need to pull in any ticket that comes through where the text contains

-VCTSI regardless of the string of text that comes before or after the 'I' 

I've tried to use the same setup we have in one of our automation rules, but it's coming back is invalid: 

text ~ -vctsi or text ~ -vctsi

I've also tried the below individual statements:

text ~ "-VCTSI (\d+)"

Here is the automation statement that works w/ success with a different custom field: 

{{issue.description.match("PID (\d+)")}}

Thank you!
