What does ${regex(${system date '+%F %T.%6N'}|(.+)|%1)} returns? If I try it in CLI I don't get anything.

The only thing I've come up with is:

<action
   application="set"
   data="now=${regex(${system date '+%F %T.%6N'}|(.+)|%1)}"
/>

Note however that Brian West has said "I'd not recommend doing that, because
every time you do a get var, you cause a pool allocation and doing this in a
loop will make your session pool swell at the rate of whatever you're calling
get_var on.  Doing anything at all inline with the dialplan is not the right
approach.  your logic and info should be all external, keying off events either
on ESL or custom modules you wrote."
