Description

matchstringY

Specifies a regular expression to match against the input value(s). It can contain parentheses to specify capturing groups. 

deststring

Specifies the ID of a new attribute to create that will contain the transformed values. If not present, the transformed values replace the original attribute's values "in-place", if and only if the original attribute was a "simple" string-valued attribute. Other attribute types with more complex values cannot be transformed in-place.

Element Content

A replacement expression that can contain group placeholders to match the capturing groups (e.g., $1, $2, etc.). If the match expression does not match, the value is passed through unchanged.
