Some simple (but useful) examples
This page is a collection of simple replacement rules you can use for yourself. Before you can use any of this, you should have a filter as a container.
Simple replace (case sensitive)
This will convert all occurence of foo into bar, but it is case-sensitive, means that it won't work for Foo, or fOO.
- Pattern:
/foo/ - PHP Code: off
- Replacement:
bar
Simple replace (case insensitive)
This will convert all occurence of foo into bar, and it is not case-sensitive, means that it will work for Foo, and fOO.
- Pattern:
/foo/i - PHP Code: off
- Replacement:
bar
Tag replacer
This will convert all occurence of <hello> into Hello World. It is not case sensitive, and it can handle spaces within tag, like < hello >, by using \s* pattern. That pattern means "zero, or more spaces here".
- Pattern:
/<\s*hello\s*>/i - PHP Code: off
- Replacement:
<strong>Hello World!</strong>
Links
Adds link to drupal.org on the occurence of <drupal/>. Notice that there is no \s* pattern, so it is not intended to replace < drupal />. You shuld enter exactly <drupal/>. And notice that backslash (\/), because slash (/) has a special meaning in regular expressions, so we must escape it using backslash.
- Pattern:
/<drupal\/>/i - PHP Code: off
- Replacement:
<a href="http://drupal.org">drupal.org</a>
Add some text at the top of content body
This will add BEGIN: at the top of your content body.
- Pattern:
/^/ - PHP Code: off
- Replacement:
<strong>BEGIN:</strong><br/>
Add some text below the content body
This will add :END below your content body.
- Pattern:
/$/ - PHP Code: off
- Replacement:
<br/><strong>:END</strong>
Auto numbering mechanism
Each <an/> will be converted into sequential number 1, 2, 3, 4, ... This replacement rule is an example of numbering mechanism.
- Pattern:
/<\s*an\s*\/>/i - PHP Code: on
- Replacement:
static $num;
$num++;
return $num;
More examples will be added soon.
