Hi Everyone, I've searched the high heavens for a method of doing this... Here's what I'm doing... First, the code.. $middlenum = preg_replace("/^".$this->start_num."/", "", $this->ach_acct_num); $middlenum = preg_replace("/".$this->end_num."$/", "", $middlenum); In a nutshell, what I want to do is chop off the front and the back. Example: I have: 1234567890 I want: 456 I have a start num and an end num. start = 123, end = 7890. This is working fine as I have it above, however I'd like to combine it into one regular express, instead of two. Can someone give me an example of matching the beginning and end at the same time? -Dan Joseph
