iOS Question Regex Replace For iOS

[RichardN]

This was extremely useful to replace ALL instances of a certain Regex pattern in B4A.

Sub RegexReplace(Pattern As String, Text As String, Replacement As String) As String
  
    Dim m As Matcher
    m = Regex.Matcher2(Pattern, Regex.MULTILINE, Text)
    Dim jo As JavaObject = m
    Return jo.RunMethod("replaceAll", Array(Replacement))
 
End Sub

How can it be translated for B4i ?

Thanks JanPRO. Amazed to find a topic that is simpler in B4i than in B4A.

The code above can be replaced by:

Text = Regex.Replace2("^(.+)\:", Regex.MULTILINE, Text, "\{b}$1\:{b}") 'Add embolden tags where desired

Actually I think that B4i is simpler than B4A (because of the differences between the platforms).
