Dplreplace: Difference between revisions

{{#dplreplace:abrakadabra|/a(.*?)r/|A\1r}}

Replaces "a" by "A" if there is an "r" somewhere after the "a". The "\1r" part is needed to put back the original text into the replaced string.<br>

<code><nowiki>{{#dplreplace:abrakadabra|/a(.*?)r/|A}}</nowiki></code> (without the "\1r") would otherwise lead to "{{#dplreplace:abrakadabra|/a(.*?)r/|A}}".

'''Result:'''<br>

{{#dplreplace:abrakadabra|/a(.*?)r/|A\1r}}

'''Example 3:'''

<pre>

{{#dplreplace:abrakadabra|/a(.*?)r/|A\1_r_}}

</pre>

Replaces "a" by "A" if there is an "r" somewhere after the "a" and also replaces the "r" at the end of the found group(s) by "_r_".
