Info
iconfalse

In case of capturing groups with the regular expression, replacement may also contain special syntax. This is why replacement will also be interpreted by the Runtime and must not contain unescaped $ and \ signs (see also Replacement Text).
If you are not sure of the contents of your replacement, you can use the replace function itself on the replacement, like

Code Block
set changed = aString.replace(regExpPattern, replacement.replace('\$', '\\\\\$'));
regExpPattern Regular expression (see Regular Expressions for a list of valid regular expressions). An introduction into regular expressions can be found at http://www.regular-expressions.info/.
LITERAL String literal.
