Match & Remove part of string

[shaggycap]

I need to remove everything up to and inlcuding the -, ie the following string

15e-6812

needs to be converted to 6812.

[code]$string  = '15e-6812';

preg_replace($reg_expression_goes_here, '', $string);[/code]

And the number of characters before the minus sign varies, so is it possible to match 'to the left of and including' the minus sign?

Thanks.

[code]<?php

$str = "23532523sad-6665d";
echo substr($str,strpos($str, "-")+1); //output- "6665d"

?>[/code]

Orio.

There´s no need for regular expressions to do what you want, use explode() instead

ex

[code=php:0]$str = '15e-6812';
list( ,$str) = explode('-', $str);[/code]


$str now holds the value 6812

I think you must use ltrim(). For e.g :-

$number = '0310';
$number = ltrim( $number, "\0x30" );
echo $number;

output: 10.
