^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It's testing to see if the value of products::new::[item-code] contains a
"1" (the thing between the forward slashes). The "i" after the second
slash means to do case-insensitive matching, which in this example doesn't
accomplish much (unless you can tell the difference between an upper case
"1" and a lower case "1" :-).
