ReplaceInStringRegex Function

Overview

The ReplaceInStringRegex function locates a search string and replaces it with another string. The search can be performed with or without regard to text case.

Syntax/Parameters

Syntax

string = ReplaceInStringRegex ( string source, string pattern, string replace );

Parameters

source

A string to search.

pattern

A string segment to match using regular expression rules.

replace

A string segment with which to replace the find segment.

Return Value

Returns a string with each instance of find replaced with target or an empty string on failure. Use the GetLastError function to retrieve error information. If the pattern contains a syntax error or the process results in an endless recursion, the returned error code will be ERROR_SYNTAX, otherwise it will be TRUE (non-error).

Remarks

The ReplaceInStringRegex function will replace every occurrence of the pattern string within source with the replace string. If no matches are found, the original string is returned. This is not considered an error. Certain pattern match and replace can result in recursion errors.

For information about the language elements used to build a regular expression pattern, see Regular Expression Language - Quick Reference in MSDN.

The return string has a maximum size of 2MB. If the buffer is exceeded, the GetLastError function will return ERROR_OVERFLOW.
