replace replace
Replaces the first occurrence matching the target string by the replacement string in the base string.
The replacement proceeds from the beginning of the string to the end, for example, replacing 鈥渁a鈥 with 鈥渂鈥 in the string 鈥渁aa鈥 will result in 鈥渂a鈥 rather than 鈥渁b鈥.

Because the target parameter is a RegExp, depending on the string you want to replace, you may need to escape some characters. Here is an example:
- string to evaluate:
|OFFER_A|OFFER_B
- provided by a profile attribute
#{ExperiencePlatform.myFieldGroup.profile.myOffers}
- String to be replaced:
|OFFER_A
- String replaced by:
''
- You need to add
\\
before the|
character.
The expression is:
replace(#{ExperiencePlatform.myFieldGroup.profile.myOffers}, '\\|OFFER_A', '')
The returned string is: |OFFER_B
You can also build the string to be replaced from a given attribute:
replace(#{ExperiencePlatform.myFieldGroup.profile.myOffers}, '\\|' + #{ExperiencePlatform.myFieldGroup.profile.myOfferCode}, '')
