Daniel Barclay (Drill) updated DRILL-3696:
------------------------------------------
Description:
In the {{REGEXP_REPLACE}} function documentation subsection currently at
[https://drill.apache.org/docs/string-manipulation/#regexp_replace-syntax],
there doesn't seem to be anything documenting that the {{replacement}}
parameter's value is a replacement _pattern_ string rather than a direct
replacement string.
Note how the documentation currently says:
bq. _{{replacement}}_ is the string to substitute for the source.
(It's not the string to substitute; it's a pattern specifying the string to
substitute, which can contain copies of parts of what was matched by the
pattern string.
Also, it's not substituted _for (in place of) the source_--it's substituted in
place of _matches_ within the source.
