[RESOLVED] bold face all occurences of % amounts

[lli2k5]

Hi,

I'm trying to bold all the percentage amounts in a $string.

My intention is do to a pattern match and then preappend and postappend the string with <b> and </b>.

Is this possible?

Definitely! [man]preg_replace/man sounds like the way to go here.

[lli2k5]

how do you allocate that the replacement string is actually the pattern itself? Or would there have to be a table of replacement strings.

$newstring = preg_replace('/([0-9,\.]+ ?%)/', '<b>$1</b>', $oldstring);

Thanks, never knew about that.
