RE: [PHP] str_replace question

$String = "<ques99>"; preg_replace('/*\<[a-z]+)[0-9]+(\>)/', '$1$2', $String); will most likeley do. Btw, does anybody know why preg_replace is adviced over ereg_replace in the manual? .. and if ereg_replace doesn't have any advantages over preg_replace, couldn't this function get depricated? -> -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- -> Van: Al [mailto:news@ridersite.org] -> Verzonden: dinsdag 9 september 2003 23:21 -> Aan: php-general@lists.php.net -> Onderwerp: [PHP] str_replace question -> -> -> I've got a simple expression "<quesxx> where "xx" is a number -> from 0 to 99. -> -> I want to replace it with simply <ques>.
