It has been mentioned up above that using a subpattern as a key to lookup a value in an associative array is not possible. After much trial and error, I found this not to be the case - here is how to do it: $result = preg_replace('/%%(.*)%%/sUe', "\$array['\\1']", $ascii); I hope this helps somebody as it took me a while to figure out. Thanks to everybody else who have contributed their notes as well. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+16456 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+16456 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+16456
