Is there a way to string replace with rules?
I'm trying to find some way to transform values without changing a value entirely.
Is there something I'm missing, or should I just make a custom rule that does string replace?

If you decide to write your own custom rule, please contribute back and add it to Rules Data Transforms as that module is missing this functionality.J. Reynolds– J. Reynolds2014-12-16 04:32:59 +00:00Commented Dec 16, 2014 at 4:32

1Look at the issue queue. There is a Remove /replace text and Capitalize functionality entry and patch. Maybe that is what you need.J. Reynolds– J. Reynolds2014-12-16 04:37:22 +00:00Commented Dec 16, 2014 at 4:37

1I wrote a custom rule that takes token values out of a string (though it needs testing still) and which also provides actions for string replace. I'll create a sandbox for it later and use it as the answer, and also tell them at Rules Data Transform so that they can add them it to their module if they want. At the very least, the string replacer works.Jack Ryan– Jack Ryan2014-12-16 13:15:24 +00:00Commented Dec 16, 2014 at 13:15

I used this for my incoming feeds, changing http:// to https://
{ "rules_http_to_https" : {

"data" : [ "node:body:value" ],
"value" : "\u003C?php\r\necho str_replace(\u0022http:\/\/\u0022 , \u0022https:\/\/\u0022, \u0022[node:body]\u0022 );\r\n?\u003E"
}
},

1Executing PHP like that is not recommended.mbomb007– mbomb0072019-06-19 21:15:19 +00:00Commented Jun 19, 2019 at 21:15
