RegExpReplace strips "\" from replacement string

Reported by: ResNullius Owned by: Jpm
Milestone: 3.3.7.0 Component: AutoIt
Version: 3.3.6.1 Severity: None
Keywords: StringRegExpReplace Cc:

Description

Win 7 Pro & AutoIt 3.3.6.1

StringRegExpReplace strips backslashes from the replacement string. Doesn't appear to affect other special RegExp control characters in the replacement string

$str = "%CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\"
MsgBox(0,"","Just to show that other special RegExp characters can be used in the replace string" & @CRLF & @CRLF & StringRegExpReplace($str, "%([^%]*?)%", "(?i)(?:^.*[0-9]$)"))
MsgBox(0,"","But the blackslashes get stripped from the replace string here: " & @CRLF & @CRLF & StringRegExpReplace($str, "%([^%]*?)%", "C:\WINDOWS\Some Other Folder"))

In fact doc must be updated as back-references use "\". So they must be doubled in the replace string.
