Manual dplreplace

Syntax

  {{#dplreplace:text|pattern|replacement}}

Effect

Replaces the given pattern within the text by replacement.

pattern is a regular expression as defined by php preg_replace().

replacement may contain references to matching parts.

Example

 {{#dplreplace:abrakadabra|ab|AB}}     returns:   ABrakadABra
 {{#dplreplace:abrakadabra|/a(.*?r)/|A\1}}  returns:   AbrAkadabra

The second example only replaces "a" by "A" if there is an "r" somewehre after the "a".
