[PHP] Removing every thing between ( )
Hello, What would the regular expression be to remove all the text between ( ) $string = This is a (001 Test) and (002 Test); The numbers always change but the word stays the same Any help would be appreciated.

preg_replace(/(\()\d{3,3} Test(\))/, \1\2, $string);
That will leave your string looking like This is a () and ().

Re: [PHP] Removing every thing between ( )
what do you have so far ? at least you need to 'replace', and I recommend perl style preg_replace() which is very powerfull. then you need an expressions that matches the '(001 Test)' part, how to do this can be found in the manual, however here's a small tip: /[0-9]+/ matches a series of one or more numbers bvr.

(not tested but...) something like: $string = ereg_replace(\([0-9]* Test\), , $string); if you want to keep the backets, then: $string = ereg_replace(\([0-9]* Test\), (), $string); HTH Martin -Original Message- From: bvr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2002 9:30 AM To: Brian Paulson; php-general Subject: Re: [PHP] Removing every thing between ( ) what do you have so far ? at least you need to 'replace', and I recommend perl style preg_replace() which is very powerfull. then you need an expressions that matches the '(001 Test)' part, how to do this can be found in the manual, however here's a small tip: /[0-9]+/ matches a series of one or more numbers bvr.

I agree - I think that if you've worked at something and feel that you're getting nowhere - then by all means ask. But I do feel that there have been some people that have posted to this list in past who have posted just to get someone else to do their code for them, without trying themselves. And no doubt there will be more in the furure...
