Because that's not what it does. submatch(0) expands to the first submatch, which is the entire thing that's matched, and +1 adds 1 to this, which will a;ways result in "1" here since any string that doesn't start with a digit will be type-coerced to 0. Anyway, /n being intended sounds likely; I forgot that would report the number of matches. Still very odd how that got morphed to what's in the article.
