How to Use Regular Expressions

Regular expressions, often abbreviated as regex or regexp, are sequences of characters that form search patterns. They are used for matching strings within text and are a powerful tool for searching, replacing, and manipulating text.

๐Ÿ”„ Advanced Replacement Rules

Advanced Replacement Rules let you define multiple sets of search-and-replace logic to dynamically modify HTML content on a page. This is especially helpful when you need to clean up, customize, or standardize content across various web flows without changing the original website source code.

๐Ÿง  What Are Replacement Rules?

Replacement rules use pattern matching (often with regular expressions) to search for specific text or HTML elements and replace them with something else. These rules can:

  • Swap out sensitive information
  • Personalize text (e.g., replacing โ€œuserโ€ with a real name)
  • Standardize inconsistent content formats (like phone numbers or dates)
  • Remove unwanted UI elements during flow recording

โœ… Why Use Multiple Rule Sets?

In the past, users could only apply a single rule set using our Chrome extension. Now, with Advanced Replacement Rules available in-app, you can:

  • Create and manage multiple configurations tailored to different use cases or projects
  • Switch between rule sets based on the flow youโ€™re recording or editing
  • Maintain cleaner, more professional recordings by controlling how content appears
