Sv RegexReplace

A function added by the JIP NVSE Plugin.

Description

Returns a copy of the specified string_var, with all matches to the specified Regular Expression pattern replaced by the specified string.

The replacement and pattern are both passed as a single formatted string, separated by a | - replacement|pattern (see example, below).

Syntax

[help]

(modifiedSeq:string_var) sv_RegexReplace targetSeq:string_var replacement|pattern:formattedString formatVars

Example

let sTargetSeq := "This subject has a submarine as a subsequence"
let sModifiedSeq := sv_RegexReplace sTargetSeq "blip!|\b(sub)([^ ]*)"

In the above example, every whole word in sTargetSeq that begins with the sequence "sub" is replaced by "blip!". The result sModifiedSeq is assigned the string "This blip! has a blip! as a blip!".

Notes

• regEx supports string formatting, and up to 20 variables may be used.
