Ok why not simply use reg_replace('/<ques[0-9][0-9]>/', '/<ques>/', $String);BTW preg regex are more powerfull since they support some stuff that the posix standard does not support. As far as I know lookbehinds and lookbacks and stuff like that. Also the POSIX standard dictates that all matches must be provided and the longest match is choosen. Preg on the other hand simply returns the first found match and is therefor faster. Please correct me if I'm wrong!! Regards Stefan Langer
