Jacques Nadeau updated DRILL-3696:
----------------------------------
Assignee: Daniel Barclay (Drill)
> REGEXP_REPLACE doc. doesn't document that replacement is pattern (not plain
> string)
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DRILL-3696
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-3696
> Project: Apache Drill
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Daniel Barclay (Drill)
> Assignee: Daniel Barclay (Drill)
>
> 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 the source_ (in place of the whole
> source)--it's substituted in place of _matches_ within the source.)
