Performs a regular expression match, like $regex, and then performs a substitution using subtext.

$regsubex([name], text, re, subtext)

Subtext is evaluated during substitution and can be an identifier.

Subtext can also contain special markers where

• \0 = number of matches
• \n = match number
• \t = match text
• \a = all match items
• \A = a non-spaced version of \a

Returns text result.

Example

$regsubex(<p style="font-size: 18px;">Example text.</p>,/<[^>]+>/g,)

The above regular expression can be used to strip any HTML tags using $regsubex, returning the stripped text.
