And it is likely that once you have specified -regex, you have to type \| instead of |, because | has a special meaning in regexes.

  First, you must specify -regex in the command if you want "\n" to mean a newline instead of literal \n.
  Second, "-cat:Dumpers" is not correct, use -cat:"Dumpers" or simply -cat:Dumpers instead, if you want to work with this category. ("" is only necessary if your category name has a space.)
