-- A module to allow substitution of regex replace functions

	b = mw.ustring.gsub(b,'\\','%')

				:gsub('¦','|')

	c = mw.ustring.gsub(c,'$(%d)','%%%1')

	local ret = ''
	-- test for alteration, and find an apprporiate set if necessary
	-- alteration currently only works for groups
	-- it also only works for 1 level of alteration
	-- e.g. (foo|ba(z|r)) will fail
	-- other operations inside alteration groups should work fine
	-- e.g. (foo|ba[rz]) will be fine

	-- looks for unescaped | within parentheses, where the last parenthesis isn't escaped
	-- characters inside cannot be unescaped parentheses, as it finds the first unescaped one to close the capture
	-- as such, that will cause unwanted results for nested captures
	-- may need to be refined
	if string.find(b,'%(.-%f[%%|][^)]-[^%%]%)') then
		ret = p.alterationGroups(a,b,c)

	-- perform basic replacements
	else

	end

	-- trim whitespace
	ret = mw.text.trim(ret)

	-- condense whitespace
	ret = mw.ustring.gsub(ret,'  +',' ')

	-- fix problems with the pipe trick
	-- may need to look at this later if we decide to use SMW more
	-- the pipe trick operates weirdly with SMW properties
	-- [[property::value| ]] is actually intentional, so that it produces no text

-- requires the string being matched against (tst)
-- will return the first combination found that works against tst
-- if we have '(a|b)(c|d|e)(f|g)', tests are performed in this order:
-- acf, acg, adf, adg, aef, aeg, bcf, bcg, bdf, bdg, bef, beg
-- if no group works, the final combination is returned
