::Function <code>replace()</code> [[Special:Diff/540121093|was added on 24 February 2013]], two days after [[Special:Diff/539690696|function <code>find()</code> was added]]. The early return in <code><nowiki>if source_str == '' or pattern == '' [...]</nowiki></code> was added in between those edits: [[Special:Diff/540073010]]. —⁠[[User:Andrybak|andrybak]] ([[User talk:Andrybak|talk]]) 14:10, 12 July 2025 (UTC)

:::With some work (<code><nowiki>{{#invoke:string|replace|2=^.*$|3=Hello|4=1|5=false}}</nowiki></code>), it is possible for there to be no parameter 1. I don't know what <code>_getParameters</code> would do with that but the code in <code>str.replace</code> should handle a situation where parameter 1 is nil. For convenience, the code treats nil and empty as the same and that might be part of the reasoning for returning an empty string. I agree that <code>^.*$</code> should match an empty string although, as mentioned above, it is possible that someone has taken advantage of this undocumented behavior. {{ping|WOSlinker}} Any thoughts?
