replace
Syntax: regex.replace(target string, [startpos] as integer) as string
Finds SearchPattern in the target string and replaces the contents of SearchPattern with ReplacementPattern. Returns the resulting string.
search
Syntax: regex.search(target string, [startpos] as integer) as RegExMatch
Finds SearchPattern in the target string. Returns a RegExMatch object.
SearchPattern
Data Type: String
A string with the regular expression.
ReplacementPattern
Data Type: String
A string with a replacement expression. The '\1' or '$1' notation is supported.
Greedy
Data Type: Integer

CaseSensitive
Data Type: Integer
