I have to disagree that 4321 is the expected output for \0, Nowhere does it state its the total matches at that position in the help file. Concidering mIRC's own behaviour with 0 in identifiers 4444 is the expected output.
\0 returning 4321 is pretty a confusing result for \0, but i do think another special substitute character might be in place for it becouse knowing the remaining number of matches can be a powerful trick in substituting.
\0 is a value that shouldnt change as it should stand for total matches the regex made regex.
Especially concidering the alternative youd have to use to get that number now is to precache the regex and use $regml(0) as replacement text which totally defeats the main purpose of regsubex in my eyes.
Adding on to this (and not waste another topic :tongue:) there should be a nonspaced version of \a (\A?).
so $regsubex(Test,/(.)/g,\A) returns TestTestTestTest
