rah\_replace
============

[](#rah_replace)

[Download](https://github.com/gocom/rah_replace/releases) | [Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/rah/rah_replace) | [Issues](https://github.com/gocom/rah_replace/issues)

[Textpattern CMS](https://textpattern.com) template tag that returns contained content with all searched occurrences replaced with given replacements, in the same manner as PHP’s [str\_replace](https://secure.php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php) function.

Install
-------

[](#install)

Using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org):

```
$ composer require rah/rah_replace
```

Or [download](https://github.com/gocom/rah_replace/releases) an installer package.

Basics
------

[](#basics)

The plugin, rah\_replace, introduces a new container tag to Textpattern’s arsenal. The tag returns wrapped content with all found occurrences replaced with given replacements. A tag supports multiple searched occurrences and replacements.

```

    Searched content

```

Attributes
----------

[](#attributes)

```

    ...contained statement...

```

The tag is a container and attributes for it follow.

**from**
Strings that will be searched and replaced with `to` attribute’s values. Separate multiple values with a comma (or `delimiter` if changed).
Default: `from=""` Example: `"dog,cat,house"`

**to**
Replacements that will be used to replace `from` attribute’s values. Comma (or `delimiter`) separated if multiple.
Default: `to=""` Example: `"ship,home,hat"`

**delimiter**
Sets the delimiter used in `from` and `to` to separate multiple values. Default is a comma.
Default: `delimiter=","` Example: `"|"`

Examples
--------

[](#examples)

### Replaces a *dog* with a *cat*

[](#replaces-a-dog-with-a-cat)

```

    My favorite animal is a dog.

```

Returns: `My favorite animal is a cat.`

### Replace multiple needles with different replacements

[](#replace-multiple-needles-with-different-replacements)

```

    I live in a house with my dog and Mike.

```

Returns: `I live in a boat with my friend and wife.`

### Replace multiple needles with a one replacement

[](#replace-multiple-needles-with-a-one-replacement)

```

    I remember when dad and Mike did go to fishing.

```

Returns: `I remember when I and I did go to fishing.`

### Using a different delimiter

[](#using-a-different-delimiter)

By default any comma is treated as a delimiter and can not be used as actual value. To use a comma (`,`) as a needle or a replacement, you would have to change the delimiter to something else. Like for instance to a vertical bar:

```

    A, B, C.

```

Returns: `A! B! C!`
