Forums Feature Suggestions about $regsub

the var set by $regsub ( $regsub(text, regex, subtext, %var) ) should be temp var, as setted by /var, not permanent as setted by /set

and, maybe a option for do not use vars, like $regsub(text, regex, subtext) for the number of substitutions made, and $regsub(text, regex, subtext).result for the result

If you want it to be a local variable, just create the variable first:

simple.

You may argue that that adds an extra step, but if $regsub were to be changed to automatically do a local variable, then you would need an extra step if you want to store it in a global var; it probably averages out.
