I have searched and searched and tried and tried... Can anyone provide assistance with a script as follows: PHP code Search and Replace using ereg_replace Search on '\141' that is with a backslash in the search variable Result to 'a' that is alphanumeric replacement The ereg_replace is removing the backslash in the search retrieval but is placing a backslash in the search replace e.g. '\a' I have tried using single quotes, double quotes, many variations but cannot find a reg_replace expression to remove the backslash and not include in the result search. Any help would be very much appreciated. Dub
