Really simple question: how can I preg_replace the backslash character?
757
The preg_replace() function returns a string or array of strings where all matches of a pattern or list of patterns found in the input are replaced with substrings. There are three different ways to use this function: 1. One pattern and a replacement string.
str_replace replaces a specific occurrence of a string, for instance "foo" will only match and replace that: "foo". preg_replace will do regular expression matching, for instance "/f. {2}/" will match and replace "foo", but also "fey", "fir", "fox", "f12", etc.
Word supports find/replace with it own variation of regular expressions (regex), which is called wildcards. To use regex: Ctrl-H (Find/Replace) ⇒ Check "Use wildcards" option under "More".
The REGEXREPLACE( ) function uses a regular expression to find matching patterns in data, and replaces any matching values with a new string.
Yes, but you need to escape it. When using it in the regexp use \\ to use it in the replacement, use \\\\ (that will turn into \\ that will be interpreted as a single backslash).
