 you can use named capture groups, but you have to do ''\1'', etc. And then the console will bitch at you that you should have done ''$1'', but ''$1'' doesn't work. you can use named capture groups, but you have to do ''\1'', etc. And then the console will bitch at you that you should have done ''$1'', but ''$1'' doesn't work.

 +it resets them to 0 after the loop. This is because bash uses dyanmic scope. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scope_(computer_science)#Dynamic_scope dynamic scope is stupid, the correct implementation is lexical scope.
 +
 +so how do we force bash to operate correctly, with lexical scope? according to the internet, you use `local`. doesn't work.
 +once you do that, the subscope doesn't just work with its own copy, it annihilates yours! there's also declare, doesn't work. Export is for sub processes, but again that doesn't send back up.
