Thanks, that is exactly what I was looking for. My problem was that I was
looking at the man page on a host that had version 20160122 so I didn't
think this was possible. Thankfully, my prod env has a more recent version
and the man page makes the options to --results quite clear. The only thing
I could recommend for improvement would be that the section on replacement
strings gives "my_{}" as an example, but it may be worth adding another
example (perhaps the ones you gave in this thread) below the existing
examples.
