Replace: oxy_replace() Function

This function is used to replace a string of text.

The oxy_replace() function has two signatures:

Syntax 1:

oxy_replace ( text , target , replacement )

This function replaces each substring of the text that matches the literal target string with the specified literal replacement string.

text: The text in which the replace will occur.
target: The target string to be replaced.
replacement: The string replacement.

Example: Suppose that you have image references but you want to see other thumbnail images that reside in the same folder in the visual Author editing mode:

image[href]{
 content:oxy_url(oxy_base-uri(), oxy_replace(attr(href), 
    '.jpeg', 'Thumbnail.jpeg'));
}

Syntax 2:

oxy_replace ( text , target , replacement , isRegExp )

This function replaces each substring of the text that matches the target string with the specified replacement string.

text: The text in which the replace will occur.
target: The target string to be replaced.
replacement: The string replacement.
isRegExp: If true the target and replacement arguments are considered regular expressions, if false they are considered literal strings.

Example: Suppose that you want to use a regular expression to replace all space sequences with an underscore:

image[title]{
 content:oxy_replace(attr(title), "\\s+", "_", true)
}
