Argument
Description
text
(Required) The text, a part of which will be replaced.You can input a string like “text“, or a cell reference like “C4”, or a cell range reference like “C4: D4“ (work in dynamic array)
regular_expression
(Required)The regular expression. All matching instances in text will be replaced.You can input a string like “[0-9]+“,or a cell reference like “C4“.
replacement
(Required) The text which will be inserted into the original text according to the regular_expression.You can input a string like “[0-9]+“, or a cell reference like “C4“.
occurrence
Specifies which instance of the pattern to replace.By default, the number of occurrences is 0, meaning all instances are replaced. A negative number replaces that instance and searches from the end..
case_sensitivity
