Regular Expression not working in _near

Hi All,
I'm trying to use a regular expression in an _assertExists that uses _near and it's failing. Whereby:
This works:
_assertExists(_link(/^Type.*/));
But this doesn't:
_assertExists(_cell("Some Text", _near(_link("/^Type.*/"))));
Is there a problem using reg exp in an _near and/or is there another way to do this?
Thanks

Regular expression will work with _near API. Can you please post the HTML code of the page that you were testing? That help us to know exactly what you are trying to do.
