Dan, I don't know if your using php, but perl had a word boundary \b you could use and I don't know why you have ([^_]) at the end of your regex considering what your trying to match.
try: /(\b[^\$]blahblah)/gi Tyler Tyler Bird UVSC - Continuing Education >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/11/05 7:18 AM >>> Ok... so I claim to have a working knowledge or regex, but I cannot seem to get this one right. Here's the problem: I have text which contains multiple values that I want to manipulate. Let's say it looks something like this: "... blahblah the brown fox jumped over $blahblah ..." I want to manipulate/replace the 'blahblah', but not the '$blahblah'. How would I go about doing this? I've got the following regex, but it doesn't do the trick: "/(([^\$])blahblah)([^_])/is" Any help would be great! -Dan .===================================. | This has been a P.L.U.G. mailing. | | Don't Fear the Penguin. | | IRC: #utah at irc.freenode.net | `===================================' .===================================. | This has been a P.L.U.G. mailing. | | Don't Fear the Penguin. | | IRC: #utah at irc.freenode.net | `==================================='
