| Feb 28, 2019 at 22:41 | comment | added | Deadcode | Also, for unary regexes, can the meaning of the capture groups be specified to include combinations of groups to make output of larger numbers possible, for example \4*\2^2 + \5*\2 + \6 or examples such as those shown here? Without this, it is only possible to output numbers less than or equal to the input (or the largest input number, in the case of multiple delimited input numbers). | |

| Feb 28, 2019 at 9:23 | comment | added | Grimmy | Should non-participating capture groups count as empty string / 0 for the purpose of this rule? | |
| Feb 28, 2019 at 9:03 | comment | added | Grimmy | @Deadcode yes, there are other languages with rules like this: asm may output via registers, and specifying the register numbers doesn't add to your byte count. | |
| Feb 26, 2019 at 19:29 | comment | added | Deadcode | Is this to be interpreted such that the specification of which backref(s) contain the output is not counted towards the byte length of the regex program? I would strongly disagree with that, since the backref numbers are an integral part of the program and without them, it would not do anything useful. Is there any other language with a rule like this? At best, any regex answer that uses this rule should be treated as a distinct language which varies depending on the exact combination of backref numbers, like command-line parameters. | |
| Dec 22, 2016 at 10:51 | comment | added | Jasen | perhaps reword to "a specified subset of captured groups" any could be mis-interpreted as allowing a different subset at each call. | |
