org.forgerock.openig.regex.PatternTemplate

public class PatternTemplate
extends Object

Expresses a transformation to be applied to a regular expression pattern match. A template may contain references to groups captured in the match. Each occurrence of $g will be substituted by capture group g in a match result. A dollar sign or numeral literal immediately following a capture group reference may be included as a literal in the template by preceding it with a backslash (\). Backslash itself must be also escaped in this manner.
