Note Submitter: pacogliss ---- Use of brackets in ereg_replace expressions allows replacement of only part of the pattern you are looking for. After crashing over the "this is a test" example, I made out these hopefully self-explaining chunks of code : $string1= "......45645.6458"; echo "=>".ereg_replace("([0-9]{1})(\.)","\\1,", $string1); // =>......45645,6458 : dot preceded by number is replaced by coma echo "=>".ereg_replace("([0-9]{1})(\.)","P\\2", $string1); // =>......4564P.6458 : number preceding a dot is replaced by letter "P" (pardon the kafkaism, for the sake of example ;-)
