why is Chef File search_file_replace not working

I am trying to get this code to replace one attribute and value but it erases the whole line. 

ruby_block "update connection pool" do
  block do
    fe = Chef::Util::FileEdit.new(servlet_xml_path)
    fe.search_file_replace("maxPoolSize=\"[0-9]+\"", "maxPoolSize=\"20\"")
    fe.write_file
  end  
end

The function works if I have a simpler regex like:

fe.search_file_replace("maxPoolSize=", "maxPoolSize2=")

ShellFish provided the answer I was looking for. fe.search_file_replace(/maxPoolSize="[0-9]+"/, 'maxPoolSize="20"')! –
