How do I find and replace a single word of a string?
e.g.
Calle Iparraguirre to Iparraguirre
I've tried:
replace( 'Calle\\s', 'Calle\\s', '')
replace( "name",'calle','')
and all combinations of code, but nothing is working :/
*I've read other Q&A's but no result
replace( '(B)','(B)','County')
tells QGIS to replace the '(B)' in '(B)' with 'Country'.
You want
replace("Name",'(B)','Country')
= replace the '(B)' in "Name" with 'Country'.
Note that the double quotes indicate a field name while the single quotes refer to a static string. These are not interchangeable.
If you plan to do this often you might be better off doing this as a function so you can reuse it.
Here is a screen capture as an example.
It's the same result in the end but it may be a bit more flexible.
Pre-Logic Script Code
def rep_field(in_fld, rep_value):
targets = ['Aa','Bb','Cc','Dd']
for targ in targets:
in_fld = in_fld.replace(targ, rep_value)
return in_fld

As stated in the function help, the correct syntax is
Note that the function is case senstive so Calle != calle
