Hi I'm a little stuck,
I'm trying to write a small script that will pull uld numbers from a given String when provided with the prefix and suffix.
They will always end with EK and can start with AKE, PLA, PMC etc
For the life of me though I don't know where to start.
I would greatly appreciate and help thanks.
The [man]strings[/man] functions would be a good place to start. There is, for example, a function that takes [man]substr[/man]ings.

The best function I can see if SSCANF()
But it's returning a single empty array?
$cpm = "

$id = Sscanf($cpm, "{%[A-Z]%d%[A-Z]%[0-9]}");
Print_r ($id);
Output

You'll want to check the documentation for the format used by [man]sscanf[/man] - it's not a regular expression (which you could use instead if you want).
