iapp::get_items -filter question...

I am looking to present in a dropdown list a selection of pools which end in either "_DC1" or "_DC2", but I can't get the syntax correct... various formats I have tried.. return [iapp::get_items ...

[12]
is probably being interpreted by TCL as command. Instead, perhaps your pattern should be a string literal, e.g. 
{_DC[12]$}
.

Otherwise, have you tried not using the 

-filter
argument, but instead filtering with TCL's 
lsearch -regexp -inline
?

Depends on whether F5's TCL is up-to-date, but maybe:

choice dc_pools {
    [lsearch -regexp -all -inline [iapp::get_items ltm pool] {_DC[12]$}]
}

    Tried both approaches above and both fail... the lsearch one needed a tcl before the 1st {.. but it still failed as it effectively tried to execute a command name called the pools which where matched... without the tcl, the import of the template failed due to invalid characters "[" and a bunch of others... :-(
