The option to *regex match and replace* parts of the request without relying on parameter

[rew1nter]

I often find myself in situations where I want to replace a string in some part of request which has no parameter. It'd be great to have such a feature where you can have the request in separate parts(i.e the first line, all the headers, body) as strings and regex match replace them without relying on parameters.

P.S AutoRepeater also had such features which are currently dead.

Hi @rew1nter. Have you seen the Match and Replace feature?

With this it is already possible to match/replace specific parts without specifying a parameter. Adding an additional regex possibility to identify match patterns would make sense. Functionality to declare the location (e.g. first line, ...) would increase the usage complexity and would also be used really rarely from my point of view (in almost every case it is possible to declare a unique match pattern without limiting the location).

Consider this. You're matching a string that is in the first line and body but also in a cookie parameter. Now if you regex match replace the entire request, the cookie parameter will change too. Where changing the cookie param will cause the request to fail. In such scenario functionality to declare the location of match n replace would be really useful.
