Scenario outlines use angle brackets for substituting values. This is going to be tricky to handle properly. The angle brackets break regex matching.

Options:

Strip out the angle brackets completely, leaving the variable name.
Strip out the angle brackets and everything inside them, leaving nothing.
Try a few different replacements (numbers, letters) to try and get a match,
Fully parse the scenario outline and make the actual replacement before attempting matching.

How well the simple options works depends on how stringent the glue regex is. Number 1 is probably the best first bet.
