kaliok Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I am trying to come up with a solution that would work like substr_replace but only replace certain characters in the string. Having trouble getting my head around it though: Say, I have a string (including the quotes): "brown fox" +jumped over the +"lazy dog" and I want to replace the spaces between the words with underscores ONLY if they are between the quotes. I have already got the positions of all the quotes into an array and I can therefore work out the number of characters but what I am stumped on is how to use substr_replace or str_replace to do this. Was looking for help creating a function that could do this. The string doesn't always follow the same format, the quotes could appear anyway in the text. The above example should end of looking like this: "brown_fox" +jumped over the +"lazy_dog" Perhaps what I want to do can not be done with these two functions, in which case perhaps someone could suggest an alternative. Any help is greatly appreciated... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
