IS there away to....

Ok im working on a simple generator which converts a report of a battle into a bb code version to be posted into a forum. But ive ran into a problem.

Currently ive been using the str_replace code, to add bb code to certain words. But now i want to bb code the health points lost, but due to healthpoints being from 1-100 i cant really str_replace a 100 numbers. So i was wondering if there was away to find and select hp and then go back 3 spaces so it selects amount of hp lost and the phrase hp. If you get me lol

And then it would out put for example:

34 HP[ /b]

I hope ive explained what i mean :queasy:

and if you could help me that would be great thanks

ok heres the code ive got

<?php 
$Player1 = $_POST["Player1"];
$Player2 = $_POST["Player2"];
$results = $_POST['results'];
$words = array('Strike: Left arm', 'Strike: Right arm', 'Strike: Head', 'Strike: Left shoulder', 'Strike: Right shoulder', 'No hit');
$bbcode = array('[b][COLOR=Red]Strike: Left arm[/color][/b]', '[b][COLOR=Red]Strike: right arm[/color][/b]', '[b][COLOR=Red]Strike: Head[/color][/b]', '[b][COLOR=Red]Strike: Left Shoulder[/color][/b]', '[b][COLOR=Red]Strike: Right Shoulder[/color][/b]', '[COLOR=Green][b]No Hit[/b][/color]');
$bbword = str_replace($words, $bbcode, $results);

$test = preg_replace('/\d{1,3} HP/', '[b]$0[/b]', $results);


if (!isset($_POST['Submit'])) {
?>

i added your code but it didnt work, probs because im a noob at php. SO if you could put it in the right place that be great 😉

As I don't know for sure that I understand what you want, I'll show you what it does:

<?php
$results = "This is 12 HP a test.";
$test = preg_replace('/\d{1,3} HP/', '[b]$0[/b]', $results);
echo $test;
?>

Output:

This is [noparse][b]12 HP[/b][/noparse] a test.

When i input my text into the box and the text is on different lines, it outputs the text all on one linefor example the input code is:

test

test

and it outputs like so:

test test

Either output it in a <pre> element, or use the [man]nl2br/man function.
