This library is seriously in need of a rewrite with all it's limitations. I think there are a couple of ideas flying around in this thread. If anyone is thinking of it, knock yourselves out.

As I'm a faithful Linux user now, you probably won't see me updating it anymore . . .

The output of example Hotstring("i)colou?rs","$0 $0 everywhere!",3) ; Regex, Case insensitive is exactly that, $0 $0 everywhere! while it should be colours colours everywhere! - The other examples do work.

Found why... In original code, the following lines (near the end of Hotstring.ahk, lines 138-139)

Loop, % local$.Count()
StringReplace, toSend,toSend,% "$" . A_Index,% local$.Value(A_index),All

should be:

Loop, % local$.Count() + 1 ; to include $0, not only $1, $2, etc.
StringReplace, toSend,toSend,% "$" . A_Index - 1,% local$.Value(A_index - 1),All
