replace

Replaces all occurrences of this regular expression in the specified input string with specified replacement expression.

The replacement string may contain references to the captured groups during a match. Occurrences of ${name} or $index in the replacement string will be substituted with the subsequences corresponding to the captured groups with the specified name or index. In case of $index, the first digit after '$' is always treated as a part of group reference. Subsequent digits are incorporated into index only if they would form a valid group reference. Only the digits '0'..'9' are considered as potential components of the group reference. Note that indexes of captured groups start from 1, and the group with index 0 is the whole match. In case of ${name}, the name can consist of latin letters 'a'..'z' and 'A'..'Z', or digits '0'..'9'. The first character must be a letter.

Backslash character '\' can be used to include the succeeding character as a literal in the replacement string, e.g, \$ or \\. Regex.escapeReplacement can be used if replacement have to be treated as a literal string.
