Regexp Replace

Replaces all strings that match a regular expression pattern with a specified replacement.

Note

If you have an active Plumsail Documents subscription, this action is free, i.e., it doesn’t consume documents limit of the subscription. Please also check the licensing details.

We would recommend you to use Regex 101 tool to test your expressions. It supports the same syntax as Documents. By default, Regex101 works with the PCRE2 syntax. You should change it to .NET (C#) in the “Flavor” section under “Save & Share”.
