For the particular case of |
Just to be clear, the
SEDCMDandTRANSFORMSindex-time transformations are not exact drop-in replacements for each other. For example, SEDCMD character substitution (likey/ABC/abc/), and repeating replacements (likes/eggs/spam/g) are things that can only be done usingSEDCMD, butSEDCMDis limited to only modifying the_rawfield. So in your question, I'm assuming that your are specifically asking about where these two approaches overlap (a single replace operation on the_rawfield.) If this is incorrect, please update your question.@Lowell yes that's what the student wanted to know. For one off replacements, like overwriting a credit card number/account code.
