You can also use \50 in place of \x28

You're right about not being able to escape the parenthesis. I think mIRC mistakes it for its own bracing or something.

This also applies to mIRC's regex on text event, which doesn't have escape sequence. The only solution is using octal chrs.

Though most special characters can be treated literal when using the $regex() identifier.
