ereg_replace and wildcard

[Anon]

Hi,
i have a string where would i like to replace
<a href="test1"> the number after test goes up to 1000. So due i do not want to set 1000 replaces i need to know if there is a way to set a wildcard after that test like test%.
Are there any wildcards for that?

Thank you

Manuel

<a href="test[0-9]*"> would match test followed by zero or more numbers

[bigc79]

you can also use the character class digit:

---

$find = "(<a href\=\"test)[[:digit:]]+(\">)";

$replace = "\1YOUR_NEW_VALUE\2";

$new_string = eregi_replace($find, $replace, $YOUR_TEXT);

---

The statment finds any occurence that has

1) <a href="test

2) Then it looks after test for any digit(s) there is to be one or more number (if you want 0 or more use the '*' instead of the '+')

3) Looks after the digit(s) for ">

4) replaces the digit(s) with what ever you specify in the variable replace between \1 and \2

As Always
