This is an auxiliary function module within the DPL package. It provides a string replace function using a given pattern.

Usage[edit]

  {{#dplreplace:text|pattern|replacement}}

Parameters[edit]

1 (unnamed parameter)
The input text to be operated on.
2 (unnamed parameter)
The regular expression pattern as defined by php preg_replace().
3 (unnamed parameter)
The replacement text, which may contain references to matching parts.

Example[edit]

 {{#dplreplace:abrakadabra|ab|AB}}     returns:   ABrakadABra
 {{#dplreplace:abrakadabra|/a(.*?)r/|A\1_r_}}  returns:   Ab_r_Akadab_r_a

The second example only replaces "a" by "A" if there is an "r" somewhere after the "a".
