# HTML::FormFu::Filter::Regex(3pm)

regexp-based match/replace filter

## NAME

HTML::FormFu::Filter::Regex - regexp-based match/replace filter

## VERSION

version 2.07

## SYNOPSIS

The following filter would turn `"1234-5678"` into `"****-****"`.

```
    type: Regex
    match: \d
    replace: *
```

## DESCRIPTION

Regular expression-based match / replace filter.

## METHODS

### match

A regex object or string to be used in the "left-hand side" of a `"s///g"` regular expression.

Default Value: qr/./

### replace

A string to be used in the "right-hand side" of a `"s///g"` regular expression. The string will replace every occurrence of "match".

Default Value: ''

### eval

Arguments: `$bool`

If true, the regex modifier `"/e"` is used, so that the contents of the "replace" string are `"eval"`'d.

This allows the use of variables such as `$1` or any other perl expression.
