Quick REGEX help needed..

[Chud37]

I need to match

 

(Click to Enlarge)

 

WITH the brackets.  Its at the bottom of thumbnails and I want to remove it.  I cannot work out what REGEX to use, Im new to it! So far i've got:

 

{\(Click to Enlarge\)}

 

But that is returning nothing.  Could someone please tell me what the best thing to use is and why!

You almost had it. The pattern delimiter's need to be identical, although I would strongly advise against using the squiggly brackets for them. I would suggest the tilde in this case. Try:

 

~\(Click To Enlarge\)~

Not quite true. You can also use  a pair of matching bracket-type characters such as <> and {}. I'm not sure why the regex you posted originally didn't work for you Chud37, it worked for me. Although there's really no need to use regex for simple string replacing. This would be much quicker:

 

$str = str_replace('(Click to Enlarge)', '', $str);
