Accessing subpatterns in replacement function

[marcodings]

Direct manipulation of subpatterns is supported

  patterns: [
    {
      match: /(\w+)\s(\w+)/,
      replacement: '$2, $1' // replaces "John Smith" to "Smith, John"
    }

Id like to use the matched subpatterns in the replacement function, using $2 is taken literally and does not work
is there / please provide a way to access the subpatters via an variable array of sorts ?

{
                            // <!-- INC menu_main-symbols.inc -->
    match:                   /(<!--\s+INC )([^\s]+)(\s+-->)/g,
    replacement: fs.readFileSync('./src/include/$2', 'utf8')
},

hi pal,

you could try the following or something like that:

{
  match: /(<!--\s+INC )([^\s]+)(\s+-->)/g,
  replacement: function(match, p1, p2, p3, offset, string) {
    return fs.readFileSync('./src/include/' + p2, 'utf8')
  }
},
