Search and Replace String (G Dataflow)
Replaces one or all instances of a substring with another substring.
multiline?
A Boolean value that determines whether to treat the text in input string as a multiple-line string. This affects how the ^ and $ characters handle matches.
| True | ^ matches the beginning of any line in input string. $ matches the end of any line in input string. |
| False | ^ matches only the beginning of input string. $ matches only the end of input string. |
Default: False
ignore case?
replace all?
input string
The string that this node searches.
search string
The string you want to replace if it exists in input string.
Implications of Empty String
If search string is an empty string and replace all? is FALSE, the node inserts replace string at the beginning of input string. If search string is an empty string and replace all? is TRUE, the node inserts replace string at the beginning of input string, in between each character, and at the end.
replace string
The string used to replace search string in input string.
Default: Empty string
offset
The number of bytes into the input string at which this node starts searching.
The offset of the first byte in the input string is 0. If offset is beyond the end of the input string, this node returns an empty string.
error in
Error conditions that occur before this node runs. The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.
Default: No error
result string
The input string with one or all occurrences of search string replaced with replace string.
If replace string is empty, result string contains input string with search string deleted.
number of replacements
Number of times this node replaced search string.
offset past replacement
The offset in result string of the byte immediately following where the last match and replacement occurred.
If the node does not find search string, this output is -1.
If replace all? is False, the next match, if any, is after this point.
