Hi all, Due to utf16/8-mismatch, I find a lot of utf16 \xnn chars in my events; this makes the json-parser  kind of losing it. So I want to get the right utf8 chars out of a dictionary json-table by doing: f=replace(_raw,"\\\\x([0-9a-fA-F]{2})",json_extract(utfx,"{}.\1")) The dictionary simply looks like [{"00":"utf8char-1"}, ..., {"AE":"é"},...] But this doesn't seem to work, the event even gets nilled completely. Something explicit like this does seem to work though: (here for instance, all utf16 \xAE chars get replaced by the "é" char: f=replace(_raw,"\\\\x([0-9a-fA-F]{2})",json_extract(utfx,"{}.9E")) or this: f=replace(_raw,"\\\\x([0-9a-fA-F]{2})","\1")), which simply removes the "\x" ...so is it like the capt.groups of the regex in replace() is not evaluated if it is arg to another function io a plain string?
