regex replace #108

Closed timconnorz closed 3 years ago

timconnorz commented 3 years ago

it would be cool to be able to run a replace function using regex as the pattern

(sorry if this is already possible)

regexreplace(pattern, field, replacement) has been added in 0.2.10. Has the same semantics as JS replacement does, so you can use special operators like '$1' to refer to the first capture group, and so on (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/replace).

Order is actually regexreplace(field, pattern, replacement) to match replace().
