[PHP] str_replace or regex
Hi, I was wondering if I can get some help with either a str_replace or a regex. I have some data and it always begins with $$ but it can end with any letter of the alphabet. so sometimes its $$a and sometimes its $$b and sometimes $$c all the way to $$z. $$a all the way to $$z needs to be changed to a / So is there a way to do this? I was thinking of a str_replace but since the letter always changes I'm not so sure. Any help? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

In which case a str_replace will do that just fine. Ignore the final letter of the string and just search for $$ and replace with a /. -- Best regards, Richard Davey http://www.phpcommunity.org/wiki/296.html -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

$output = preg_replace('/\$\$[a-z]/','/',$string);
If you wanted to use str_replace, then:
$array = array('$$a','$$b','$$c','$$d'...);
$output = str_replace($array,'/',$string);

eregi_replace('(\$\$)([a-z].+)', '\1z', '$$a');
Maybe i'm wrong, please crosscheck.
