This is how an updated program should work like:

 Available regex syntaxes:
 [0] Perl
[1] Perl case insensitive
[2] POSIX extended
[3] POSIX extended case insensitive
[4] POSIX basic
[5] POSIX basic case insensitive

Input regex: (\d)(\d)
String to match: 00
MATCH: 0, 0,
Replace pattern: \1#\2
RESULT: 0#0
String to match: 42
MATCH: 4, 2,
Replace pattern: ###\1-\1-\2-\1-\1###
RESULT: ###4-4...
