I want to replace a '+' with ', ' to label an attribute looking like "ZT10+ZT20+ZT30" to get "ZT10, ZT20, ZT30" using 



regexp_replace("zone_nr", '+', ', ')


but I get an Eval Error: Invalid regular expression '+': quantifier does not follow a repeatable item.

A + is a special symbol to the QGis regular expression engine (it means 1 or more of the preceding character), so you need to escape it by putting a in front of it. So you need:



regexp_replace("zone_nr", '+', ', ')

    Or, simply use



    replace("zone_nr", '+', ', ')


    as this doesn't expect a regexp term (it simply matches all occurences of the specified input string).
