1 2	fix_match(source_term, match_term, term_df, clean_col, flat_col, start_reg = "(?<=^\|----)", end_reg = "(?=----\|$)", split_reg = "----")

`source_term`	A string containing the flat term that will be retained and used to replace the match term in the target columns.
`match_term`	A string containing the flat term to be replaced.
`term_df`	The dataframe to be updated.
`clean_col`	String with the name of the column "clean" term values.
`flat_col`	String with the name of the column with "flat" term values.
`start_reg,`	end_reg Strings providing the regular expressions that can be used to identify the start and and of a term.
`split_reg`	String with regex identifying the pattern to split on when fields are complex.

This takes a single source-match pair and updates all the "flat" and "clean" fields containing the match term with the source term. This is designed to support interaction with complex fields where the elements are identified by provided regex. In these cases, the matching element of the field will be replaced and the rest of the field left untouched.

NOTE: "flat" refers to the version of the term used during the matching process. "clean" refers to the reader-friendly version of the term.

Returns an updated version of the passed-in dataframe.
