Mmm… I have a vision of a combo of rvm_counter, txp:variable and if_variable and at least two instances of rah_replace… and maybe some smd_query and smd_if to finish it off… ;)

Ugh, breaking these bubbles. I’m a meanie.

Sorry, but unfortunately, not going to work. You can’t effect rah_replace’s search-and-replace routine in shape or any form. You will need sub-string replacing that has movable pointer, which isn’t what rah_replace does. It always replaces all occurrences, and not even words, i.e. catwomen becomes dogwomen.

Only way you could even theory make it work with rah_replace is to create sub-strings prior to running rah_replace by splitting each words and then joining the results back together. In which point rah_repleace becomes obsolete as you already have individual words to do 1on1 replacing (no search needed).

and maybe some smd_query and smd_if to finish it off… ;)

I don’t see none of those, as it stands, doing it either. Smd_query has no relation to the case at all. It builds DB queries and that is it.

Haha, not a surprise :) I didn’t think very hard about it. Just curious, is something like this complete nonsense?

<txp:variable name="dogs" value="0" />
<txp:rah_replace from="dog<!-- 2 -->,dog<!-- 4 -->,dog<!-- 6 -->" to="cat,cat,cat">
   <txp:rah_replace from="dog" to='dog<!-- <txp:adi_calc name="dogs" add="1" display="1" /> -->'>
      text with dogs goes here
   </txp:rah_replace>
</txp:rah_replace>

To answer my own question, yes, I expect it is ;)

Thank you. I can let go now ;)

Thank you all for having a try at this. I might just have to let it go too…

Rah_replace v0.4 is out. Brings some performance optimizations.

Thanks, Jukka – looks great!

Thanks Jukka for this plugin.

I’m doing using rha_replace for parsing <txp:site_slogan /> with and 
This is the code I use <txp:rah_replace from="|,__,/__" to=" ,,</small"><txp:site_slogan /></txp:rah_replace> and this is the value of field Fusce ultricies ultricies nunc|Maecenas in ligula|__Aenean tincidunt adipiscing nibh/__

I expect to get this code Fusce ultricies ultricies nunc Maecenas in ligula Aenean tincidunt adipiscing nibh but I obtain Fusce ultricies ultricies nunc Maecenas in ligula Aenean tincidunt adipiscing nibh width double small code.

How I can resolve this issue?

Marco, I guess what you really get is Fusce ultricies ultricies nunc Maecenas in ligula Aenean tincidunt adipiscing nibh/, but the browser corrects this invalid markup. Try to change the order:

<txp:rah_replace from="|,/__,__" to="<br />,</small>,<small>"><txp:site_slogan /></txp:rah_replace>

Edit: Uli has the last word :)

Marco, maybe just a forum typo in your tag: </small">. Shall the apostrophe really be there?
Secondly, try another order in your search pattern, __ is contained in /__ hence it might take action prematurely: from="|,/__,__" to=" ,,"

Edit: Oleg was faster :)
