Confusion about Find And Replace

hop of those help? I have a large select list like: , Try the following:
Find: <.*?>

may help you . I've attempted using both the INDEX and MATCH, as well as. the SUBSTITUTE formula, both are great, but unfortunately neither are allows me to achieve the desired outcome and each has limitations. Using MS Excel, In Cell A2 I have a text that contains multiple characters and letters that I want to replace within the string (Example A2: {Mr. and Mrs.} John Peterson_Jones {444} 585/0000). I also have two (2) additonal Columns each with Headings (Cell B1: "Find What" and Cell C1: "Replace With"). In Column B2:B101 (Find What), I have a list of individual key words, letters and characters that if any of the specific keyword(s), letter(s) or character(s) are found in Cell A2; are to be replaced with the adjacent Find What - REPLACE WITH keyword, letter or charcters in the Replace With column C2:C101. , If you can use a macro then you could do something like this:

For i = 2 To 101

    findThese = Split(Range("B" & i), ",")
    replaceWith = Range("C" & i).Value
    replaceWith = Trim(replaceWith)

    If Not IsEmpty(findThese) Then
        For Each found In findThese
            found = Trim(found)
            Range("A2").Replace What:=found, Replacement:=replaceWith, LookAt:=xlPart, _
                SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, _
                ReplaceFormat:=False
        Next
    Else
        findThis = Range("B" & i).Value
        Range("A2").Replace What:=findThis, Replacement:=replaceWith, LookAt:=xlPart, _
                SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, _
                ReplaceFormat:=False
    End If
Next i

I wish this help you Per the docs for gulp-replace you can use a function for the replacement value, just like you can for String.prototype.replace()
Also, I've modified your RegEx to group the .{2,99} together using (). The String.replace() callback function will breakout each group as a separate arg. Since you're only interested in extracting that group, we can have String.replace() do all the work and return back the value to replace the matched text.

const gulp = require('gulp')
const replace = require('gulp-replace');
const path = require('path');
let pattern = new RegExp(/{% id_(.{2,99}) %}/, 'g');

gulp.task('replace', () => {
  return gulp.src('before.html')
    .pipe(replace(pattern, (match, p1) => {
      return `{% block ${p1} %} {% endblock %}`;
    }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest(path.join(__dirname, 'after.html')));
});

I wish this helpful for you The following will hold true for both str_replace() and str_ireplace():
The $replace elements that do not have a corresponding $search element will be silently ignored.

$search  = array('This');
$replace = array('new1','new2');
$subject = 'This and that';
echo str_replace($search, $replace, $subject);
//output: new1 and that

$search  = array('This','that');
$replace = array('new1');
$subject = 'This and that';
echo str_replace($search, $replace, $subject);
//output: new1 and 

$search  = array(1=>'This',0=>'that');
$replace = array(0=>'new1',1=>'new2');
$subject = 'This and that';
echo str_replace($search, $replace, $subject);
//output: new1 and new2
//if keys were recognized, it would be: new2 and new1
