One of these days I'm going to master reular expressions -- my "Mastering Regular Expressions" book tells me so! but until then . . .
I'm looking to match a string every time it is not preceded or followed by a letter. (But punctuation or white space following or preceding it is fine.) The string will always be the same (I'll use "Booty" as my example). For example, I would want to match: Booty Booty (with a space) Booty, Booty. "Booty" etc., but not: Bootylicious When I find Booty, I want to do some formatting to Booty, but not to the punctuation or space following or preceding. for example, change "Booty," to "_Booty_," I'm doing this in a php environment. Can anyone help or point me in the direction of a "dummies" tutorial?
