That is correct; it is a known bug. You can use JavaScript's replace instead:

"abracadabra".replace(/a.*?a/g,  "*")

If you're doing this a lot you could create a JavaScript service so you can just call "jsReplace" or something of the sort from XQuery.

Hi,
is it possible that reluctant quantifiers are not supported for regular
expressions?
This is from <http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions/>:
replace("abracadabra", "a.*?a",  "*") returns "*c*bra"
but actually it returns "abracadabra".
What am I doing wrong?
With kind regards
