I'm trying to write a regex replace that works something like this:

some_string.replace(regex_stuff, do_something_to("$1"))

Where I want to pass the match ($1) to some function for manipulation
because what I want to do is too complicated to be done with a managable
regular expression.  Can I pass the match to a function like this?

Quoted directly from the JScript Language Reference:

The following example, which works in JScript 5.5 and later, performs a
Fahrenheit to Celsius conversion, illustrates using a function as
replaceText. To see how this function works, pass in a string containing a
number followed immediately by an "F" (e.g., "Water boils at 212").

function f2c(s) {
  var test = /(\d+(\.\d*)?)F\b/g;    //Initialize pattern.
  return(s.replace
    (test,
      function($0,$1,$2) {
        return((($1-32) * 5/9) + "C");
      }
    )
  );

document.write(f2c("Water freezes at 32F and boils at 212F."));
