Replace in String

Description

Replace in String searches for text within string fields and replaces all occurrences with a specified value. Use this step for data cleaning and standardization — for example, correcting common misspellings, removing unwanted characters, reformatting phone numbers, or normalizing category codes. It supports both simple literal matching and regular expressions with group references, making it flexible enough for both basic text swaps and complex pattern-based transformations.
