Keyword modifiers

Hi,


I am trying to use keyword modifier to replace colon and forward slash, that is http://

But the modified keyword doesn't return anything. How can I get it work, maybe by escape? I have tried back slash but it doesn't work for me.



Thanks,



Robin

What is the keyword you are using? would like to see the format really.

The parse_keyword() function which try to extract the modifier out of the keyword seems to be using ':' to get the strings to replace and to replace with. This is probably what might be causing the issue.

Yes it is what was suspected. Matrix will try to split the string at the ':' , the one after the replace one. It will take the string 'http' as a string to replace and "//blah.blah" as string to replace with. There isn't much we can do to ignore this semicolons sadly. It just the way it has been coded right now. would probably be a nice idea to see it as a bug.
