Synopsis

.. BEGIN SYNOPSIS

.. synopsis::
|
|
|
|
string replace [-a | --all] [-f | --filter] [-i | --ignore-case]
|
|
[-r | --regex] [(-m | --max-matches) MAX] [-q | --quiet]

Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
.. BEGIN DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
``string replace`` is similar to ``string match`` but replaces non-overlapping matching substrings with a replacement string and prints the result. By default, *PATTERN* is treated as a literal substring to be matched.
|
|
|
|
If **-r** or **--regex** is given, *PATTERN* is interpreted as a Perl-compatible regular expression, and *REPLACEMENT* can contain C-style escape sequences like **\t** as well as references to capturing groups by number or name as *$n* or *${n}*.
|
|
|
|
If you specify the **-f** or **--filter** flag then each input string is printed only if a replacement was done. This is useful where you would otherwise use this idiom: ``a_cmd | string match pattern | string replace pattern new_pattern``. You can instead just write ``a_cmd | string replace --filter pattern new_pattern``.
|
|
|
|
If **--max-matches MAX** or **-m MAX** is used, ``string replace`` will stop all processing after MAX lines of input have matched the specified pattern. In the event of ``--filter`` or ``-f``, this means the output will be MAX lines in length. This can be used as an "early exit" optimization when processing long inputs but expecting a limited and fixed number of outputs that might be found considerably before the input stream has been exhausted.
|
|
|
|
Exit status: 0 if at least one replacement was performed, or 1 otherwise.
