In Yahoo Pipes, how do you replace the content of an entire field using the regex function

Question

I would like to use the regex function to entirely rename the value for each item.title in the feed. Does this make sense? Right now all I can do is replace parts of an item title if they match the characteristics I enter.

I believe your question has more to do with regular expressions than it has to do with the Yahoo Pipes regex function.  To completely match all of the item.title, you need a regular expression that matches all of the text in item.title.  To do this, the regular expression is ".*" (minus the double quotes.  The "." (period) is the regular expression wild card pattern (it matches anything).  The "*" (asterix) says to match 0 to many instances of the previous pattern.  Specifically, fill in the regex function fields as follows:

In -> item.title

replace -> .*

with -> Your New Title
