http://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1099 --- Comment #2 from Pavel Kostromitinov <[email protected]> 2011-03-25 14:01:36 --- Yes, I understand the difference between Perl behaviour and feature I'm proposing. In fact, i don't need to change the regexp itself using those variables, as Perl does, only to reference constant strings defined somewhere externally. I can explain the very scenario from which this proposition emerged. For a long time I'm developing a PCRE-based program (plugin for Far file manager) for search/replace/rename/etc operations. For example, one can search for files matching a mask (possibly a regexp), and then do a search/replace operation in them. And I got request from users to allow operations as: find all .cue files and replace string matching its own name inside with some other line... If the feature I'm asking could be implemented, it can be performed as: Search for "(?<name>.*?)\.cue", and replace "(\k<name>)" with "\L\u$1". But without it, I simply don't know hot to implement such things... -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.exim.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/pcre-dev
