cags Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Speaking for myself I believe that would be impossible. How is the preg engine supposed to know that hey and php are seperate words. Matching a space is simple enough. You could possibly replace all instances of only single spaces using look ahead/behind to ensure it is only a single space if thats what your after. If that's not what your looking for I think you'll have to be more specific.

That sounds like a good start, given the information presented.
