Nihilis Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Hi everybody! I'm Swiss, so my English could sound a little strange sometimes... sorry for that. I have a Problem with str_replace(). I have a large string containing an unknown amount of the substring [CHECK-00] ([CHECK-01], [CHECK-02], [CHECK-04], [CHECK-05] ...) And now I want to use str_replace to replace all of them with a empty string: '' Of course I could just count the number of "[CHECK-" substrings and replace them within a loop or something like this, but they are not always in a specific order. They could also be something like "[CHECK-87]{some substring}[CHECK-1]{some substring}" The only thing for sure is, that this [CHECK] substrings have always the same structure: "[" + "CHECK-" + {two numbers} + "]". Is there any way to do this with a combination of str_replace and regex? Or do you have an other idea on how to solve this problem? Any help is very welcome =) Greetings from Switzerland, Nihilis Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/116070-str_replace-with-only-semi-known-string-that-should-be-replaced/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
