INPUT=ABC; INPUT=${(S)INPUT//#%((#b)(*))/°match°}; print $match
#no output
# Try to quote #
INPUT=ABC; INPUT=${(S)INPUT//\#\%((#b)(*))/°match°}; print $match
#no output
# Anchor with (#s)/(#e) instead:
INPUT=ABC; INPUT=${(S)INPUT//(#s)((#b)(*))(#e)/°match°}; print $match
#ouput correct:
ABC
# No S-flag
INPUT=ABC; INPUT=${INPUT//#%((#b)(*))/°match°}; print $match
#output correct
ABC
BTW, what were the rules of (#b) flag activity (or (#B))? It was something about "till the end of the parens".
