How to delete nfirst lines from $str if i know how much lines shuld remain in string?
$str = "aaaaaaaaa\nbbbbbbbb\nccccccccc\nddddddddd\n...\nzzz"; ?
Can it be done easly with preg_replace? (i.e without splitting it by '\n', removing elements from array and joining tham back).

I would use substr_replace.
Hope this helps.
By the way, substr_replace is much, much faster then preg_replace or ereg(i)_replace.

Viel Spaß!

I'm not sure about preg, but with ereg it would be:

$str = "aaaaaaaaa\nbbbbbbbb\nccccccccc\nddddddddd\n...\nzzz";
$str2 = ereg_replace("^{([\n]*\n){2,2}","",$str);}
echo "$str<br><br>$str2";

This translates as 'any number of anything except newline, followed by a newline, twice in a row, at the start of the string'

Hope that helps.
