So AFAICT we have a full and complete PCRE implementation here, with no
'real' bugs associated with it.

I fully agree on the full and complete PCRE. Now I know it is there, I tested it and all the syntactic variations I know about are there.

But how do I need to call this if not a bug?

put "_" & replacetext("A C", "^ *", "")    -> _C
put "_" & replacetext("A C", "^", "")      -> _

I tested it in BBEdit and PHP, I don't get these very strange results. At the page: http://revolution.lexicall.org/regexp_test.php, you see the result of the following php instructions:

    $ttext = "A C" ;
    $ttext = preg_replace('/^ */', '', $ttext);
    echo "_" . $ttext . "<br />";          --> _A C

    $ttext = " A C";
    $ttext = preg_replace('/^ */', '', $ttext);
    echo "_" . $ttext . "<br />";           --> _A C

    $ttext = " A C";
    $ttext = preg_replace('/^/', '', $ttext);
    echo "_" . $ttext . "<br />";           --> _ A C

    $ttext = "A C";
    $ttext = preg_replace('/^/', '', $ttext);
    echo "_" . $ttext . "<br />";          -->    _A C

Cheers,
