Can anyone give me a clue about using variables in a calibre recipe?

I want to try to find any digit followed by a space and three other digits, for example '1 000', and replace the space with a non-breaking space.

I thought something like this would work:

Spoiler:

This finds the right expressions, but the variables aren't replacing correctly.

What am I doing wrong?
