EXSLT - regexp:replace - Implementer Page

The regexp:replace function replaces the parts of a string that match a regular expression with another string.

The first argument is the string to be matched and replaced. The second argument is a regular expression that follows the Javascript regular expression syntax. The fourth argument is the string to replace the matched parts of the string.

The third argument is a string consisting of character flags to be used by the match. If a character is present then that flag is true. The flags are:

• g: global replace - all occurrences of the regular expression in the string are replaced. If this character is not present, then only the first occurrence of the regular expression is replaced.
• i: case insensitive - the regular expression is treated as case insensitive. If this character is not present, then the regular expression is case sensitive.
