stri_replace_regex: Replace Occurrences of a Regex Pattern
In stringi: THE string processing package for R

Description Usage Arguments Details Value See Also Examples

Replaces with the given replacement string every/first/last substring of the input that matches a regular expression

stri_replace_all_regex(str, pattern, replacement, opts_regex = list())

stri_replace_first_regex(str, pattern, replacement, opts_regex = list())

stri_replace_last_regex(str, pattern, replacement, opts_regex = list())

`str`	character vector of strings to search in
`pattern`	character vector of regular expressions
`replacement`	character vector of strings to replace with, possibly including references to capture groups
`opts_regex`	a named list as generated with `stri_opts_regex`

Vectorized over str, pattern, and replacement.

These functions scan the input string for matches of the pattern. Input that is not part of any match is left unchanged; each match is replaced in the result by the replacement string.

The replacement string may contain references to capture groups (in round parentheses). References are of the form $n, where n is the number of the capture group (their numbering starts from 1).
