Method regexp.addReplaceFunc

Overload

Adds or replaces a function that is called when a regular expression replacement string contains ${+name} or ${+name(g)} or ${+name(g, v)}, where g is group number or name and v is any string.

public static void addReplaceFunc(string name, Func<RXMatch, int, string, string> replFunc)
Parameters
name  (string)

A string used to identify the function. Can contain any characters except '}', '(' and ')'.
replFunc  (Func<RXMatch, int, string, string>)

Callback function. Called for each found match. Returns the replacement. Parameters:

  • current match.
  • group number g, if replacement is like ${+name(g)} or ${+name(g, v)}; else 0.
  • string v, if replacement is like ${+name(g, v)}; else null.

In the callback function you can use RXMatch.ExpandReplacement.

Remarks

Useful when there is no way to use regexp.Replace overloads with a replFunc parameter. For example in Find/Replace UI.

Examples

Create new script in editor and add this code. In Properties set role editorExtension. Run. Then in the Find panel in the replacement field you can use ${+Lower}, ${+Lower(1)}, ${+Lower(2)} etc.

regexp.addReplaceFunc("Lower", (m, g, v) => m[g].Value.Lower()); //make lowercase

Another example. Replacement could be like ${+mul(1, 10)}.

regexp.addReplaceFunc("mul", (m, g, v) => (m[g].Value.ToInt() * v.ToInt()).ToString()); //multiply by v
