Now, I know that this is easy, but I am embarassed to say that I can't find a regex tutorial that will show me how to match any occurances of x and replace them with one x: xxxxx >x xx > x x > x $string="I have xxxxxxxx apples!"; $string=preg_replace("-regex here-","x", $string); print "$string"; I have x apples!

preg_replace ( "/x+/", "x", $string ); preg_replace ( "/x{1,}/", "x", $string ); But those will also change a letter 'x' in a word, so you'll probably need to tinker with that part too. -- John C. Nichel ÜberGeek KegWorks.com 716.856.9675 john@kegworks.com
