HTML::...::Regex(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

HTML::FormFu::Filter::Regex — the regexp-based match/replace filter, bestie ✨

(also known as HTML::...::Regex(3pm), and yeah it's part of the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, iykyk 🫶)

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 2.07 — that's the one, no cap 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so picture this: you've got 1234-5678 and you want it to be ****-****. This filter does exactly that, iconic behaviour honestly:

type: Regex
match: \d
replace: *

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

It's a regular expression-based match / replace filter. That's it, that's the whole vibe — you give it a pattern, it swaps out the matches, slay. 🔥

🎀 METHODS 🎀

💜 match

A regex object or string that goes on the "left-hand side" of a s///g regular expression. Basically the "what are we looking for" half of the equation, the main character of the match 🫶

Default Value: qr/./

💜 replace

A string that goes on the "right-hand side" of a s///g regular expression. This string will replace every occurrence of match — not just the first one, every single one, periodt 💅

Default Value: ''

💜 eval

Arguments: $bool

If it's true, the regex modifier /e gets used, which means the contents of the replace string get eval'd. Lowkey unhinged, highkey useful 😭

This lets you use variables like $1, or literally any other perl expression you want in there. Go off, fr fr.
