> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: piggybank
> Affects Versions: site
> Reporter: Murali Rao

> Lets say we have a string = 'A1B2C3D4'. Our objective is to replace A with 1,
> B with 2, C with 3 and D with 4 to derive 11223344 string.
> Using existing REPLACE method
> REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE('A1B2C3D4','A','1'),'B','2'),'C','3'),'D','4')
>
> With proposed UDF : REPLACE_MULTI method
> General Syntax :
> REPLACE_MULTI ( sourceString, [ search1#replacement1, ... ] )
> REPLACE_MULTI ( 'A1B2C3D4', [ 'A'#'1','B'#'2', 'C'#'3', 'D'#'4' ] )
> Advantage :
> 1. Function calls are reduced.
> 2. Ease to code and better readable.
>
> Let me know your thoughts/ inputs on having this UDF in Piggy Bank. Will take
> this up based on this.
