Thanks for that...and yes that would do very nicely.

Unfortunately, for what I'm trying to do, it is of little use. I probably should have mentioned that the bit of text I used is actually just part of a much bigger bit of text so exploding on a space would cause havoc with the rest of it. Hence the REGEX question.

But, I still agree with you 100% about keeping things simple :o)

Thanks

Hi,

I'm still trying to get to grips with REGEX and have hit a hurdle with the following:

I have this bit of text:
(\(EX\) RV-6 )

I want to remove the '\(EX\)' part of it
so leaving just: ( RV-6 )


$text = '(\(EX\) RV-6 )';
$bits = explode(' ',$text);
$leaving = '( '.$bits[0].' )';

Sometimes, regex is not the answer :)
