preg_match("Results ([0-9]+) - ([0-9]+) of about ([0-9]+). Search took ([0-9]+) seconds.",$string, $hits); $hits[1], $hits[2], $hits[3], $hits[4] will contain your numbers Henry wrote:

Yes But that the string is contained within a much bigger string as well I want to search for the follwong string but with wild cards for the numeric values and I would like to know the values as well. "Results $1 - $2 of about $3. Search took $4 seconds." Where all the $'s are numeric values Henry "Timothy J Hitchens" <tim@hitcho.com.au> wrote in message news:001001c26c2a$927a9ad0$0500a8c0@BAMBINO...
Are you saying you want to be able to extract the numbers etc?

Search took 0.04 seconds." I would like to look for the string above in a buffer of text. However I would like to find it even if the numeric are different. Furthermore I would like to know what the values are. Is there a simple way to do this? TIA Henry -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
