This module allows you to use regular expressions to manipulate and filter data within Drupal views. You can define custom text outputs based on regex replacements or create filters that include or exclude rows matching specific regex patterns.
Views Regex Functions is a simple module that allows you to define regex replacements with fields in views. In other words, it allows you to output text based on the result of a regex replacement formula. Additionally, you can filter using regex expressions.
Please Note: This module requires no modules outside of Drupal core.
