How do I use Regex to replace characters in string?

I'm trying to learn how to use regex effectively to find and replace characters/strings.

For example, I would like to replace all the "p" (lower case) with "*" in the string "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers".

Using RegexReplace(Text.Text,"p","","*") only replaces the first p with *. Shouldn't this expression match every "p" in the string?

When I run RegexMatchCount(Text.Text,"p",""), again I only get 1 match, when I would expect to get 7.

I found a workaround where I add the condition "While RegexMatchCount(Text.Text,"p","")!=0" and it will run until there are no more "p" to change, but this way seems like a bit of a hack to me.

I am also familiar with the alternative option using the replace expression: replace(Text.Text,"p","*"), but I feel like Regex could give me much more control in more complex scenarios, such as case sensitivity for this example.

You have to set the global flag ("g") for all matches.

RegexReplace(Text.Text, "p", "g", "*")[/code:5g8ztt7g]

Great that did the trick! Didn't see that flag mentioned in the tutorial. Now that I look closely at the examples, I see that loops were to get the multiple matches.

Thanks much!
