How to use Regex to match and replace text in Automation for Jira

[Geoff Robles]

I'm putting together an automation that matches a block of text. What I'd like to do is take the text and remove the wiki markup from it. This is what I have for the matching section

{{issue.description.match("(?s)Deployment to Production\*\s*(.*?)\s*h1\. \*\Deployment to Staging\*")}}

The text it matches looks like this

h1. *Deployment to Production*

*Documentation:*
Links and other bullet points

h1. *Deployment to Staging*

etc

I want to remove the asterisks and other wiki markup from the match and do something with the updated text.

How do I combine the match above with a replace?
