Hi!
I have some source code correctly indented and I need a regular expression that will replace the initial text spaces with . I don't want to use a pre tag, just replace the leading spaces. For each line the expression should replace all space characters from the beginning to the end of the string until a character different from space is reached.
Any ideas?
$string = [man]str_replace[/man](' ', ' ', $string);
Easy as that...
If you wanted to do tabs:
$string = [man]str_replace[/man]("\t", ' ', $string);
[man]strspn[/man] can tell you how many spaces the line starts with, and you can use that in [man]str_replace[/man].
You could also use a regular expression, but the strspn/str_replace seems the less effort.
You could also just change the style of whatever HTML element is containing the text to be "[noparse]white-space:pre[/noparse]".

Thank you for your help, it works!
