Currently when trying to use string replacement like in:
https://regex101.com/r/UFsDMr/1
so having regular expression:
and test string:
and replacement:
the following runtime error is thrown:
as capture group not participating in the match are still tried to be accessed, but they should be allowed and if their value is not set should not produce any replacement value (= they should be an empty string).
This PR fixes that incorrect behaviour, so that the above regular expression replacement results in expected:
string.
