g-code substitutions does not work in PrusaSlicer 2.7.1
In PrusaSlicer 2.7.1 I can't get the g-code substitutions to work at all. I tried with and without regular expressions, I tried with and without comments. I tried the following simplest possible substitution and, while I get the line output in the gcode, no actual replacements are made:
; gcode_substitutions = M73;xxxxxx;;
This was the setting I was hoping to make work:
; gcode_substitutions = "(M73\\s+P[0-9]+\\s+R[0-9]+)\\n";"${1} ;LAYER_CHANGE_TRIGGER_CAMERA\\nG91\\nG1 E-1 F1800\\nG1 Z0.3\\nG90\\nG1 X180 Y180 F3600\\nG91\\nG1 Z-0.3\\nG1 E1 F1800\\nG90\\n";r;"Move head to trigger keeping frame"
Obviously, I turned off bgcode generation to validate that it wasn't working. I thought that maybe the substitution only works with binary gcode, but when I try generating output with and without the (valid) substitution defined, the size of the bgcode file changes by only two bytes, which doesn't seem likely if the substitution was working.

I just wanted to update that the g-code that I put above doesn't actually work right. I'm still unable to use the built-in substitutions, but using an external script I'm working on figuring out a useful thing to inject to make the printer do what I want. But don't use the code I pasted, I'll update here when I have it right.

Well, that was weird, I tried to update the site with the working g-code that I created, but I got blocked saying that apparently it thought I was hacking the site? Very strange. I guess you'll have to wait to see the g-code until I post the complete script in my GitHub.

You need to compress your code into a *.zip format and then paste it into the post. The forum will not accept any other format.

I only pasted about five lines of g-code into the text of my reply. I was not uploading a g-code file. No idea why those 5 lines triggered something, but whatever.
