Description

Default value

replace4
The replacement to substitute the matched substring found by find4.
replace3
The replacement to substitute the matched substring found by find3.
replace2
The replacement to substitute the matched substring found by find2.
replace
The replacement to substitute the matched substring found by find. If the replacement string needs to contain the literals $ and \ then they should be escaped because they have special meaning. For example, as part of the replacement string one can use '$1' to refer to the first capturing group defined in the regular expression for find, $2 for the second, and so on. If the literal '$1' is desired, then it should be escaped as '\$1'.
_ignore_errors
Set to 'true' to ignore all unhandled exceptions and prevent the flow from being terminated. Setting this property to 'false' will result in the flow being terminated in the event an unhandled exception is thrown during the execution of this component
false
find
The regular expression to find the matched substring. For example, if specifying the regular expression as 'push' and the replacement as 'pushing', then the sequence of characters 'push' contained in any word is substituted with 'pushing'. Additionally, capturing groups can be used and referenced in the replacement string as $1 for the first capturing group, $2 for second, and so on.
find4
The regular expression to find the matched substring.
find3
The regular expression to find the matched substring.
find2
The regular expression to find the matched substring.
_debug_level
Controls the verbosity of debug messages printed by the component during execution.
Possible values are: off, severe, warning, info, config, fine, finer, finest, all
Append ',mirror' to any of the values above to mirror that output to the server logs.
