Hi,
I lost trail, what do you want to do?
You want to convert
>>>From
to this:
>>From
Or what's the goal?
Cheers,
Tamas

Subject: [PHP] Use of preg_replace
I need to be able to convert a line of the form:
>>>From
to have either one more or one less > at the front. A web site tells me that
the regexps to use are:
1,$s/^>*From />&/
and
1,$s/^>(>*From )/\1/
respectively (there is a single space after "From"). So, if my text string is
in $line, I ought to be able to do something like:
$line = preg_replace ($pattern, $replacement, $line);
But, since all regexps are to me, like TECO commands, no better than
line-noise, how do I make up $pattern and $replacement from the proffered
regexps?
Thanks.
