However, if replace text is \\f or .\\ or anything that just does not consist entirely of backslashes, it gives the expected result of \ -> nothing and \\ -> \ I know a workaround, but that's not the point, is it? Code: //echo -s $regex(abc,^(.?)b(.)$) -> $regml(1) $+ \ $+ $regml(2)

As a simpler workaround than $regml() use a backreference to a non-existent match like this: $regsub(abc,b, [color:red]\999\\,%test)[/color] Spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and stupid comments are intentional.

The bug is that \$ can be used in <subtext> only if there are other characters before or after it. //var %a, %b = $regsub(abc,/b/,z\$,%a) \| echo -a %a works //var %a, %b = $regsub(abc,/b/,\$z,%a) \| echo -a %a works //var %a, %b = $regsub(abc,/b/,\$,%a) \| echo -a %a doesn't work //var %a, %b = $regsub(abc,/b/,\$\$,%a) \| echo -a %a doesn't work /.timerQ 1 0 echo /.timerQ 1 0 $timer(Q).com
