RegExReplace

The RegExReplace() function replaces all matches for Pattern in SourceText, and replaces them with the ReplaceText value.

All regex functions use a pattern to check for matches in the input text.

For a more complete explanation and special / allowed characters you can visit this WEM Forum post. Here you find a cheat-sheet and a few helpful examples.

This function is NOT SQL compatible. For more information about SQL compatibility, see our documentation.

Returns SourceText with the matching patterns replaced by the replace-text value.

Returns SourceText if no matches are found or the pattern is faulty.
