{{#dplreplace:abrakadabra|/a(.*?)r/|A\1_r_1r}}
</pre>
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}}".
