Function: replace
|
|
|
|
--Usage--
|
|
> replace(some_string, match: regular expression, replace: replacement, in_context: regular expression)
|
|
|
|
Replace all matches of a regular expression with a replacement value.
|
|
The replacement can either be a string or a function.
|
|
* The string can contain backreference @"\\0"@, @"\\1"@, etc. refering to the components captured by the parentheses in the regular expression.
|
|
* When the replacement is a function, the variable @input@ contains the whole match and @_1@, @_2@, etc. contains the components.
|
|
|
|
Optionally a context can be given. The replacement is only performed if the string where the match is represented as <tt><match></tt> also matches the context.
|
|
|
|
When the @replace@ is used many times with the same @match@ or @in_context@ values it is more efficient to declare these as default arguments:
|
|
> my_replace := replace@(match: "something", replace: "something else")
|
|
> my_replace("input") # called many times
|
|
This way the regular expression is compiled only once.
